I never hear "Oh, Muhammad!" or "Buddah!" or "Allah!" Why?
Also, how come no one ever asks whether or not Satan is real... it's always "Do you believe in God?"

That is a good question I have wondered about myself. I think because everyone really knows deep down who God is and who Jesus is. Some just wont admit it even to themselves. They are afraid to have to change I think. God and Jesus are the only true Gods.

The only thing I can think of is that most Christians that use the Lord's name in vain do it because they think that The Ten Commandments were done away with when Jesus was crucified and of course that's not true.
It's a sin according to The Ten Commandments, period. Using any form of the Lord's name as slang even using gee whiz is the same thing. The vulgar words that so many people use today is terrible, but when I hear somebody use the Lord's name as slang is plain hurtful towards Christ and God. IMHO
As far as other cultures they probably use their personal gods names as slang. Unless you've lived in other cultures you definitely wouldn't know that. Do you personally know anybody who is a Buddhist or Muslim?

Well the "world" doesn't, just your little corner of it. Even in Christian counties the swear words change. French tend more towards articles seen in the Church and used at Mass, the greeks and Italians tending more towards body parts but calling God names in extreme cases. Other religions and cultures all have their favorites based on the local taboos and mores.

Because people like to break rules and using Jesus Christ is using the lords name in vein which goes against the ten commandments.

because the devil is real and he wants to attack the truth. Why waste time and energy on attacking what is fake or the work of his own hands? Also who does the media mainly attack? Jesus of course. And if you think about it there is so much satanically inspired stuff in the media, especially these days.

Because that " world " believes JC is God, according to Prophecies only chosen people that will live together as One with God, will know His real Name. Joel 2:17-31

People are sinners. I do not know why they don't use other gods' names. Personally, I cannot stand hearing the Lord's name used in vain. It is worse than all of the other four letter words and those are bad too.

I still haven't figured out why people use it in a derogotive sense... a form of cursing, but if you are Christian, then using the Lord's name in vain (without purpose of communicating with God) is a sin. But I still have yet to figure out why people commonly use his name in a negative slang form.

You don't hear those other God's because we live in a mainly Christian society. If you lived in a Muslim country, you probably would hear someone use "Allah!" in vain. I have a close friend who is Muslim, and I've heard him say "Allah!" in times of suprise.
