why do people always use my Father's name?

What is your fFathers name? If you are an unbeliever then your father is satan.

If you are a believer your Father is Jehovah, Jesus is your Lord and Savior, the Holy Spirit is your teacher

They are not using Gods name, they don't even no that. When the Lord tells us do not use his name in vain, he speaks about the preachers that teach his word in vain. Just one simple thing will tell you that a preacher uses the Lords name in vain is when the Lord say to observe the sabbath which is a COMMANDMENT and not a suggestion and that very preacher has gatherings on sunday. Totally usign Gods name in vain.

Good question. I see your point.

To use the words "God" and "damn" together, is usually done in order to express> a powerful, deep hurt, deep hate or a deep anger.

The word> God, and the word> damn, are POWER words.

A person's own name isn't used because it doesn't express> power.

Because they don't want the blame for damning something?

God isn't a name, it's a title. Hrothgar and Graneck - Now those are names.

Maybe they should you your name instead.

Well, "FRANK-DAMN!" just doesn't have the same effect.

Good question......
