I always laugh at this argument, because there’s a more amusing argument. Yeah, it’s Israel’s land and they’re G-d’s chosen people. But multiple times in the Bible G-d has taken that land from them and even had them enslaved by nearby nations! At this point in the mythos, G-d, the Messiah, has yet to reveal himself. He’s still in silence lol So, based on all that, it sounds like Israel needs to take some responsibility for what they do.
I was just gonna edit my post, and say this, but I think it’s worthy as it’s own post. I like how you bring up “in vain”, because it’s something I detest in the western Christian church mythos. they consider using G-d’s name to be in vain whenever you say it out of the context of evangelism, almost. When, in fact, the use of in vain, is using G-d’s name to justifying your crimes, is using Their name in vain. It’s a pretty neat distinction in the Ancient Hebrew, that western Christianity has conveniently forgot. Thanks, Rome!
Thanks! I’m still gonna do it, because it’s something a part of my life and spiritual journey! It really got started when I started listening to mewothoutYou and I really started looking at all religions more critically. I’ve ended up in a strange place, close to Samsara about it all lol.
Edit: In hindsight, “I’m still gonna do it” came out worse than I intended. I meant it more passive and sheepish, than cavalier.
Thanks for the advice! I will still write G-d out because I like it and it’s a part of my spiritual journey! I’m very big into Samsara and I really like the Hebrew tradition of not writing out G-d’s name from holiness and not wanting to destroy it!
I appreciate you asking why I do it, instead of just calling me a fool with no prior knowledge of me as a person. That could’ve really hurt my feelings and put a damper on my day, so I appreciate all your kind words!

“God” aint the lord’s name, and even if you diduse his name, it wouldnt be in vain here, you good.

And worrying about the appropriate nomenclature for mythical figures is an idle pastime.

You can write god. Nothing happens. You look like a fool.
