    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!
