We will only remark that we sincerely hope that the time will come when preachers, hymn-writers and pious poets will realise that there is a very deep and menacing truth at the bottom of the commandment, "Thou shall not take the name of the Lord thy God in vain." That a man shall not use the strongest words so as to make them weak is emphatically one of the ten commandments of literature. The law against taking the Name in vain is, for some strange reason, generally as understood as dealing with jokes upon serious subjects. But a joke is not necessarily vain, it is generally highly significant. Job and Elijah jest constantly on serious subjects. But to the use the greatest names in our language, the words that are, as it were, too great for the mouth, again and again like a worn-out stamp, in trivial arguments, in cocksure explanations, in mere rhetorical padding; this, which resounds from hundreds of pulpits and sacred lyres, is indeed, to our minds, the sin against the Name...

[To be honest, in addition, I would like to add an additional instance to those examples of "sins against the Name", i.e., trying to guilt people into reposting Facebook pictures and messages, etc., by saying something along the lines of "Christ said if you deny him in front of others, he'll deny you in front of his Father. Re-post if you don't deny him." As if the only reason one wouldn't spam is because you're denying Christ! Actually, if we're going to be taking verses out of  their context anyway, I'd say Christ's warning against using "vain repetitions" is much more relevant in such a situation...Sorry, just saw one of those types of post one too many times lately, so...]
