Don't call me that. It's taking the Lord's name in vain. Sha=ADme on you.

You're a religious guy. I'm surprised you don't know the meaning of the
phrase "taking the name in vain." I'm not, but I do.

It's a prohibition against using the name Yahweh when casting a spell
or pronouncing a curse.
"God damn you" may come close to crossing the line, but "Oh my God,"
"God but you're ugly", and other casual references like
"Jesus.......learn to read" fall well outside the intention of that
particular Mosaic commandment.
