A place where I like to explore, with frankness and honesty, the ways that relating to God might look in real life and in real relationships for teens and young adults.

OMG! Oh my God!
I always thought the third commandment in Exodus 20 was there to tell us not say things like, "God, did I have a rough day!" or "Oh, my God!" and things like that. More and more, though, as I have heard people think this through I have found that this interpretation is problematic. The following video gives one of the more accurate takes on it.
I do want to acknowledge that the speaker is Jewish and therefore, at least in this case, holds a different view of God's forgiveness than I as a Christian do. Still his points in general are valid.
