If Jesus Christ Isn’t God, Then How Come So Many Atheists Take His Name In Vain?
Comments(4) I’m sure you’ve heard plenty of Atheists using God’s name in vain on many an occasion. This vile practice is even overlooked in the office where it’s essentially become a much-loved ritual.
Yet I find myself thinking, if Atheists really don’t believe Jesus Christ ever existed, then why do they use His and God’s name in vain so much? You’d think that they could use other words to express their disgust!
Why don’t they ever mock Buddha or Muhammed? Why does it ALWAYS have to be Jesus?
I’ll tell you why it’s this way – Satan is manipulating Atheists without their knowledge. He is using them to demean the Holy Name of Christ in the most vulgar of ways. Satan knows Jesus is God and this irritates him more than anything which is why he’ll try to tempt his children into sinning against Him more and more regularly.
So if you’re an Atheist and swear a lot, I challenge you to consider your motives next time you let a cuss word out. Think about the effect it is having on Jesus in Heaven right now. It’s the least you can do to try to save your soul..
does jesus feel sad inside? does it really compare to his getting nailed to some wood.
now then, as incomprehensible as the chances of you learning anything are imagine that you have moved to france for the last five years and speak pretty fluent french. now imagine you have stubbed you toe. which language do you swear in? english.
having been raised in a christian community and then become an atheist. i naturally grew up hearing people say ‘for gods sake’ etc. i learned that that is what you say when you are pissed off.
if i had been raised a buddhist i would have used buddhas name in vain.

it is just habit.
Like Renata said, it’s habit.
It’s a cultural meme. People are used to it.
You’re looking too deep for some hidden meaning where there isn’t.
Some of we atheists are better termed “panatheist.” This term means that we are at once awed by the world and universe around us. In fact, we will use what sound like very religious terms like “creation” or even “God” to convey our wonder so that other people will understand the magnitude of our appreciation. However, we do in fact not believe in God or creation, but there is a certain poetry in these terms. A likewise situation occurs when we take the “Lord’s name in Vein.” It is only in order to express anguish in a manner that other people around us, who are probably religiously inclined, will be able to relate to the degree in which we are upset. Does that help answer your question?
