Why do people always use God's name in vain. But they never say ''Oh my budda'' or ''oh my allah''. are they picking on christians??

I have asked others this question before. The reason my Pastor came up with is that there is power in the name of God and Jesus. The lame, deaf, blind, and even lepers were healed in His holy name. There is no power in budda, allah, or Mohamed.
Males sense, doesn't it?

I think you should have thought far more carefully about the way in which you asked your question. "Oh my god" does not appear to relate to a specific christian, islamic, jewish or any other religion's god although we recognise that all three of these religions share the same God (capital required this time). You will find in addition that muslims and jews generally only invoke God when requiring help or support. Blasphemy seems to be a rather christian practice. So for God's sake stop trying to create friction due to what I assume are your own practices.

it's just become a lazy cliche because the predominant religion is christianity in europe and the united states. most that use it don't even think about whether there is a god or not, let alone if they are taking his name in vain. i wish i could stop using it as i know that god doesn't exist. but it has become such a cliche there is nothing better to replace it with.
saying the word god ( no capital ever deserved) does not invoke anything. there is not one. if it invokes something your end, by all means put them in touch with me, i'll talk them out of their delusion.

God is a generic name for a superior being. It has nothing to do with belief of any kind.

quicker and easier in many cases to use this term as most people are from the Judeo-Christian background.

Only say "Oh , my God ", when something really bad happens, i suppose i am asking Him why he let bad things happen, all the time. Have lost my believe in a last couple of years. Usually i just say, Jirrrrrrrre man, wat die donner.

Buddha was just a man, not divine in any way, Personally I use any swearword that comes to hand, don't care about its provenance.
