The Third Commandment warns, "Thou shalt not take the name of the Lord thy God in vain; for the Lord will not hold him guiltless that taketh his name in vain." (Exodus 20:7).
We see many Christians including entertainment industry, Movies ,TV shows make fun of Gods name in May ways. Many of them will silently listen to them or laugh at them. There are other types of hypocrite Christians who curse God or take Gods name in vain when they are angry or in joy or in pain. We should open our mouths to praise God and leading others to obey the Lord through faith in Jesus Christ not to use to speak profanity ( Ephesians 4:29).
