The Real Reason You Shouldn’t Take the Lord’s Name in Vain

Thou shalt not use the lord's name in

vain people think that means don't swear

or curse and it sort of means that

there's peripheral meaning that is

associated with that casual use of the

Sacred let's say but that isn't what it

means it means don't

claim Divine virtue when you're working

for your own purposes and the same thing

happens in the gospel accounts say

because the Pharisees who are Christ's

primary enemy are the people he accuses

of

utilizing the sacred they're praying in

public they're trying to occupy the best

seats in the marketplace it's an

expression of an unbelievably deep and

ignorant narcissism it's these

performative gestures that make you

morally virtuous
