      I am constantly praying to god, and I’ve never been in a plane crash. Checkmate atheists!

        Yeah if you account for all the wank sessions you were broadcasting to your creator, the reason you’re still alive is either proof of there not being a god, or a very perverted one.

          Nope, that’s not taking his name in vain. No matter how much the christian busy bodies would have you believe. That particular idea is about shit like the prosperity gospel or christian nationalists.

            I had understood it to mean, like, making an oath (“I swear to God…” or the whole hand-on-a-Bible swearing) and not following through, or making it lightly.

            Jesus had a whole thing about it, saying that not only should you not make an oath in God’s name lightly, but that you shouldn’t at all (implying it shouldn’t be necessary, if you’re already an honest person). “Let your yes be yes, and your no be no.”

            Which, honestly, makes way more sense than some nonsense about not saying their names.
