    I’m a Christian, and I assure you that this is nonsense. I distinctly remember the name Yahweh being used in sermons. Maybe there are branches of Christianity where that’s a thing, but it’s definitely not universal.

    “Using God’s name in vain” is generally taken to be about blasphemous cursing, not about using God’s name at all.

      “You shall not take the name of the LORD your God in vain, for the LORD will not leave unpunished the one who takes His name in vain.”

      Name…

      Your God…

      His name…
