Or could it be THEIR personal god (not yours), or maybe even just a figure of speech?

figure of speech, when I say it or anyone else does
...unless they start pointing and pass out, if that ever happens I'll take it literally.

All that saying is, truthfully, is a figure of speech. However, the Hardcore christians (no Offense) have decided that God's name should not be spoken unless it's followed by a bible verse.

It's just a figure of speech. I don't use it that often because I think it makes me sound valley-girlesque, but when I do use it I certainly don't consider it "taking the lord's name in vain."

I dunno, I always thought it was rather illogical to claim ownership of such a being that can't be owned... but that's another matter entirely. I also get a bit of a "hmmm" out of people who say "Jesus is Lord"... well that's a bit obvious from their point of view isn't it?

I mean Thor when I say it. Oh my Thor! just doesn't sound quite right...plus my husband might start getting the wrong idea.

Atheis,
Since there is only ONE GOD, they are definitely referring to mine (and yours). Have a wonderful weekend.
Thanks,
