Ways to take the Lord's name in vain
 |
| This hamster is sure to incur God's wrath. |
For a thorough explanation for what it means to take the Lord's name in vain, try here. Essentialy you're not seriously referring / speaking to God.
Since Christianity has virtually 3 Gods (Jehovah, Jesus and the Holy Spirit) you have 3 lords to choose from when you take his name in vain, though I haven't found any phrases involving the holy spirit yet.
Ways to take the Lord's name in vain
Jesus Christ! (or just 'Jesus' or 'Christ')

for God's sake

good God
(oh) Lord(y)
Why, God? WHY??

Words that almost use the lords name in Vain? You either do or you don't. If you have good reason for a list of almost you need to elaborate why. Some people use other words to avoid the actual use.

As a Christian myself, we don't have "virtually 3 gods", we have just one God. God the Father, God the Son and God the Holy Spirit = one triune God. The holy trinity can be difficult to understand, but look at it like an egg, there's the outer shell, the white and the yoke, three distinct parts but still one egg.
