Because of the greatness of the name of God, any use of God's name that brings dishonor on Him or on His character is taking His name in vain. The third of the Ten Commandments forbids taking or using the Lord's name in an irreverent manner because that would indicate a lack of respect for God Himself.

Originally posted by Charles View PostCafeteria interpretations like those of Dave Miller, Ph.D.:
"In sum, the third commandment cautions against using the Lord's name falsely to buttress a truth claim that is fabricated. By extension, it prohibits any use of the holy name that is without any real significance, any trivializing of the Tetragrammaton. I am not sure whether biblical Israel has any concept of "cussing" or using a collection of "four-letter words," but it is not a misunderstanding of this commandment to bring it to bear on the pervasive use today of "O my God" in every imaginable situation."
He goes on to say that he doesn't think that the commandment can be limited to only "verbal turpitude of some sort," but that it also extends to the concept of being a carrier or bearer of the name of "the Lord your God."
So, yeah, ultimately it looks like Miller agrees with Hamilton. Personally, I think Bill's statement is a little light on the "name in vain" scale. He didn't utter it as a cuss or curse, but as an exclamation of awe or exasperation...still, it's something Christians should look to avoid, especially if/when it is tied to an insult as it was here.
Just my two cents.

I would say that the ONLY reason breitbart is reporting this is because Trump's approval rating with African-Americans is almost non-existent.

Puts it @ 15% for black men, 3% for black women.

I like how they dismiss Rasmussen showing a 35% approval among blacks despite Rasmussen consistently being the most accurate pollster.Some may call me foolish, and some may call me odd
