I was just gonna edit my post, and say this, but I think it’s worthy as it’s own post. I like how you bring up “in vain”, because it’s something I detest in the western Christian church mythos. they consider using G-d’s name to be in vain whenever you say it out of the context of evangelism, almost. When, in fact, the use of in vain, is using G-d’s name to justifying your crimes, is using Their name in vain. It’s a pretty neat distinction in the Ancient Hebrew, that western Christianity has conveniently forgot. Thanks, Rome!
Thanks! I’m still gonna do it, because it’s something a part of my life and spiritual journey! It really got started when I started listening to mewothoutYou and I really started looking at all religions more critically. I’ve ended up in a strange place, close to Samsara about it all lol.
Edit: In hindsight, “I’m still gonna do it” came out worse than I intended. I meant it more passive and sheepish, than cavalier.
It’s not that I worry about it, it’s a part of me. It’s not something that I even really think about anymore, I just write it inherently. I actually had a wonderfully, rich conversation with a friend about it recently.
Thanks for asking if that’s something I worry about instead of belittling me!
“God” aint the lord’s name, and even if you diduse his name, it wouldnt be in vain here, you good.

And worrying about the appropriate nomenclature for mythical figures is an idle pastime.
