If one doesn't believe in God, neither will he bother whether its a curse or cuss...??

- But is using God's name in vain a curse because the bible says so, or because society says so?

- So if you do not believe in the Bible, even if society frowns at you for it, it is not cursing?

- It is a curse... whether you believe it or not, speaking against God is sin... but if you don't believe in God, the only difference is that you don't bother about it or accept that its a wrong thing to do.
  Society says so just because they believe so. And as a social animal, the society tries to impart you things that they believe. Just because you don't believe doesn't make it not a curse to use God's name in vain.

Hello Keysha...
I always imterpreted that commandment to be more of a "hypocrisy" thing...meaning, don't say you are "Godly" and act "ungodly"
Comments
- I was thinking of the 'don't take God's name in vain' thing.

Religion is a BELIEF not a LAW. I believe the bible is a book of nonsense so therefore those religious scriptures don't apply to me. So no, it's not cussing if an atheist says it. It's only cussing because you allow yourself to think it is.

- But if society as a whole thinks it is, is it?

- No. Society also thinks everyone should be married by the age of 30.

God not sure, it can be used to announce surprise, pleasant or not. Hell though definitely, have you ever heard someone say "go to hell" and mean it in the nicest way possible?
Comments
- Actually, yes. I live near Hell, Michigan. :P
