    Default I wonder..............

    Ok, I have always wondered so I figured I would ask you guys. I know that in the ten commandments, it says "thou shalt not take thy lords name in vein." So, that makes it a sin to say God's name unless you are talking about him or referring to him. So, my question is, when you talk about the gods of Mt. Olympus and such, when you refer to the talking about them, is it also a sin while referring to them? Hopefully, I didn't confuse you by this.

    I don't think so, it's referencing the teachings of the past. I don't know if any God in his right mind would declare that a sin. But if he has, he's an ass.

    Well, I am more talking about the Christian God taking it as a sin about talking about the Roman gods

    I take it as don't use the name as a swear word, but my husband says I can't say the lord's name like at all without being a sinful bitch. Like he gets pissed at me if I swear to God, even if I mean it.

    Stingy bastard.
