>The biblical commandment to not take the lord’s name in vain applies only to the people who follow the Bible’s teachings. It’s their commandment, no one else’s. And it’s not even close to a swear in colloquial terms. It’s just an expression of surprise, and an extremely common one at that.
The most annoying part is that's not what "taking the lord's name in vain" even means. It absolutely doesn't mean to never use the lord's name. It very specifically means not to use the lord's name as justification for doing something that is against the teachings of the lord.
Just another example of Christians having absolutely no understanding of their own religion and making it everyone else's problem.
