Christians:
In Exodus 20:7 it says that Christians should use
Gods name only when they are praying.
It says that Christians only use Gods name when
they are talking respectfully about God.
Christians are not allowed to say oh my god or
any other phrases or sentences that uses Gods
name in vain because it clearly states in the 10
commandments to not use Gods name in vain.

Subcategory: Gods name

A lot of teenagers would text oh my god to
their friends without thinking.
This contradicts to what Christian supposedly
said. They said that they cant use Gods name
in vain.

Why?
Text speak and internet language is the main
cause for teenagers to say oh my god even
though they are Christians.
They would encourage teenagers to text
quickly and mindlessly. So it is really easy to
say oh my god without even thinking about
it.

Subcategory: Gods name

Humanists:
They only use Gods name as a byword
Gods name means nothing to them because they
dont believe in Gods existence
oh my god is an example of a byword

Subcategory: Gods name

They said that they dont believe in Gods
existence then why? Why do they even bother
using Gods name?
Even though they dont believe that God
exists, they contradict themselves by using
Gods name in their everyday phrases and
sentences.

Why?
They think that the word God is merely a
word that does not mean anything.
They said that oh my God is a figure of
speech, an exclamation of disbelief, and to
express exaggeration.

Subcategory: Christmas
Christians:
The true meaning of Christmas according to the
Christians is the birth of Jesus.
Even though Jeremiah 10:1-6 talks about how
talks about not to cut trees and and chiseling the
wood to make an idol, they think that having a
Christmas tree is okay unless they serve them as
an idol.

Subcategory: Christmas
Most of the Christians now call Christmas
holiday.
Most of the pastors tell Christians to avoid
that word to describe the birth of Jesus
because they said that the true meaning of
Christmas is the birth of Jesus Christ but now
they are making it as a holiday that does not
mean anything.

Why?
They are getting influenced by their
environment.
The true meaning of Christmas goes more and
more blurry as it is becoming more and more
politically correct to refer to it as the
holidays.

Subcategory: Christmas
Humanist:
They dont think of Christmas as the birth of Jesus.
They think of it more as something like winter
solstice festival
They think that its a beautiful season that we
need to share our love regardless of race, religion
and nationality because we are all members of a
universal family.

Subcategory: Christmas
They contradict themselves by liking and
singing religious Christmas songs. For
example, O Holy Night.
They said they dont care about God or Jesus
Christ nor believe in their existence but they
still sing religious Christmas songs.

Why?
They are saying that there was Christmas long
before there was Christ.
They are arguing that Jesus birth was never
December 25th so the true meaning of
Christmas is definitely not about Jesus birth.
