Yes, this is a technical violation of the commandment, but I think a better reading is that scripture is condemning those who claim God's authority when making pronouncements. This type of using God's name in vain happens all the time, be it by the Jerry Falwells of the world claiming God sends hurricanes to punish New Orleans, or politicians who claim that God would not support this or that position. This is a far more damaging use of God's name then an actor using a phrase.Jared Littletonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12565991519031441666noreply@blogger.com
