    No it isn’t. God has a name and it’s not God. The reason we refer to him as God and not his name is this exact reason, so as not to use it in vain.

      Because an all-knowing all-powerful being doesn’t know when you’re talking about it unless you use its birth name I guess

        Im not Christian anymore but the more I study scripture the more I am inclined to believe God is neither all powerful or all knowing. For example if he was all knowing, he would have never promised Noah not to flood the earth again. There is not a chance in the universe that the world was more wicked in the past than it is today. If by no other standard than sheer numbers. More people have been killed in the last 200 years than humans alive in the time before Christ.

        Yeah it’s like when your mom calls you by your full name and you know you’ve really fucked up.
