If you are a Christian you need to stop doing this. God is not the author of confusion. He does not damn stuff or people and you are using His name in vain. Jesus did not damn anything- He did make a whip and drive out the false representatives from the temple because they practiced principles that were not godly. But you should learn to bless and do not curse stuff or people.

Answer 4

This is one of the most misunderstood areas of spirituality. First of all Saying G. D. is not blaspheme because that isn't His name anyway. You might consider yourself lucky because if you did curse your car in the name of God it might never run again. Probably for now its problems are caused by poor maintenance since anything you will curse you probably are not interested in taking good care of.

Now for taking the name in vain. Exodus 20:7 Taking the name of someone in ancient times meant calling yourself a servant or Child of a person. Taking Gods name in vain would be calling yourself Christian while cursing another person telling them they will be destroyed in hell because they do not choose to believe as you do. Now that's blaspheme. Saying God will do something awful to another as if it was your choice.

Well, it is taking the Lord's name in vain, so it's breaking a commandment.



But if you don't buy the whole thing, then it's just a linguistic reflex of the majority-Christian culture you grew up in.
