Heard a knowledgeable biblical scholar once, make a very good case that the original text of the Bible, where it refers to “taking the Lord’s name in vain”, is NOT referring to the commonly assumed “cussing” but to those who use the Lord’s name for their own selfish ends. Such as is so commonly done by controlling & mercenary “Holy Rollers” who use the Biblical quotes & the Lord’s name to enrich themselves & make people do what “they” would like people to do, with little or no regard to actual biblical intent.

Not saying cussing is good & when it includes God or Jesus it is certainly disrespectful, maybe even blasphemous but that’s not as bad as the folks who claim to speak for the Lord who are just trying to use him to feather their own nest. Special place in hell for those manipulative scum.

Anyway, God loves Leupold! (& the higher end Vortex)
