Worst form of cursing

[Bob]

In your mind, what is the worst form of Cursing?

I say it is when people say "Oh, My God!" and mean nothing other than "Wow."  In my mind it is blasphemy.

Does OMG count?


Cause when I say (type) OMG, I am saying (typing) Oh my GARSH!

Any use of God's name in vain is certainly worse than course talk or language.  Though both should be avoided.

When I type OMG, I mean Obama Must Go.

Stink, dang, fudge, oh pooh... "bwessings"

To me, that is sissified talk.  Like John mark saying "You have no onions."  Is that supposed to impress people?  If you want to say it say it.  Otherwise, clean your mouth up.

If you got no oinions, it's going to be hard to cook anything good. Burgers and salads are right out.

True.  But if you have no balls, you probably should not try out for the MLB.

Right... but you mean baseballs, of course? Another meaning might be considered sexist.

Saying "Oh my God" is not, IMO, blasphemy or cursing, or taking God's name in vain, because God's name is not "God".

Ridiculous answer, you stupid Quaker.

Tell him. We need more than the 26 second cousins the swordforums has.

1. Why is taking God's name in vain considered cursing if it's not a curse, like "God damn you"?  "Oh my God" may be taking God's name in vain, but it is not a curse. 

2. Gosh, golly, jeez, and my favorite, jeez louise, are not taking God's name in vain.  They are ways to AVOID taking God's name in vain, just like "heck" is a way to avoid saying "hell".  Many people will write G-d instead of God to avoid taking God's name in vain, yet G-d is a whole lot closer to God than Golly.

"The lost may argue that they don't consider saying "God" to be blasphemy.  In fact, the phrase "omigod" is so embedded in the vocabulary of youth today that it is shortened to "OMG" for ease in text messaging.  It is just a meaningless word to them.  In other words, they don't esteem the name of God.  The Hebrew word used for "vain" means nothingness, emptiness, vanity.  To misuse God's name means literally, "to lift it up to or attach it to emptiness." 

"We live in blasphemous times, when God's holy name isn't honored and is even used as a cuss word.  Sinners try to justify blasphemy by saying that God's name is "just a word" that they don't even think about when they use it.  Their own mouths condemn them.  His precious name rolls off their sinful tongue without a second thought, as though He didn't exist.  Humanity may take the sin of blasphemy lightly, but God doesn't.  He gives it the sentence of death (Lev 24:16)."  (The Evidence Bible)

I'd say a worse practice that saying 'oh my God' is telling someone you have to do something because "God" told you to, especially when you are trying to use that as a pass to do something extremely negative and/or hurtful regarding others. Tacking God's name onto unGodly actions is a much greater abuse of His name than someone saying OMG.
