Not in good way.

Free Republic snowflake/Never Trumper mentioned.
Yeah whatever. I live in Charlotte and wouldn’t let my dog chit on the Charlotte Observer for fear he’d get some of the print on him.
Wait, sorry, did we elect him to be Pope?
I remember reading that post by the offended Freeper and thinking “well, there’s another Freeper that never served in the Marines”.
Drama Queen and Vanity troll mentioned.
No. He said GD. Twice.
This baby boomer combat veteran, no snowflake, respectfully requests our great president to please do not do that
It’s very, “that’s how we talk in certain circles”, which is fine but no. Not in this case
The Charlotte Disturber...a newspaper that went from a thick, multi-page daily publication to a thin, daily flyer with less pages than a For Sale By Owner mag freely distributed at a grocery store doorway. This lib/lefty waste of trees isn’t gone soon enough. That’s all I had to see.
“God” is not His name. It is His title.
The Commandment “You will not use the Lord your God’s name in vain.” is a directive to not abuse His authority!
PING!!
I watched it live
It was awful
He is great, but no on this.
I was one who disapproved, but I’m not going to throw the baby out with the bath water. (Though we’ve seen some FReepers do just THAT, over disagreeing with POTUS. Those are they who weren’t true supporters, in the first place). I seriously doubt he’ll lose more than a handful over this.
I'd much prefer to fight the socialists with an atheist by my side than any of these crackpots.
Well, he’s from New York.
For one thing, the word “God” is not God’s name. So, saying something like “God, did I have a tough day today” does not violate this commandment. “God” is God’s title. But God’s name is YHVH (we do not know exactly how it is pronounced, and Jews refrain from pronouncing it). It is this name (in the Hebrew original) we are forbidden to say in vain.
But the ultimate, and far more important, reason this sin is unforgiveable is due to something else, which can only be understood if we translate the verb of this command- ment literally. Do not “take” is not what the commandment actually says. The Hebrew verb in the commandment, tisa, means “carry.” The commandment therefore reads, “Do not carry God’s name in vain.”
And who carries God’s name in vain? Any person who claims to be acting in God’s name while doing the opposite of what God wants—evil. Obvious modern examples would include Islamist terrorists who shout, Allahu Akbar (“God Is the Greatest”) when they murder innocent people; or a priest or any other clergy who, utilizing the respect engen- dered by his clerical status, molests a child. There is little question Islamist terrorists and molesting clergy have both played a role in the rise of atheism in our time.
When any person commits evil, it reflects badly on the person. But when a person commits evil in God’s name, it reflects badly on God as well. The result is the only solution to evil—God-based morality—is thoroughly undermined. When associated with evil, God and ethical monotheism are thoroughly discredited. And that is unforgivable, as it dra- matically reduces the chances of creating a good world.
No atheist activist is nearly as effective in alienating people from God and religion as are evil “religious” people. As noted, the Hebrew word y’nakeh (“hold guiltless”) literally means “cleanse.” Essentially God is saying if any- one dirties God’s name, God will never cleanse that person’s name.
And a speciaal thank you to RevelationDavid for making this all possible.
For example...don't say "God damn it" when you're working on your vehicle and you get frustrated with the work as He just might grant your request and then you're really in a pickle.
The same goes with "God damn you". Do you really want God to damn that person?
And don't get mad when your vehicle has more problems.
It;s your own fault.
He's just doing what you asked Him to do!
2 Kings 2
24 He turned around, looked at them and called down a curse on them in the name of the Lord. Then two bears came out of the woods and mauled forty-two of the boys.
Instant retribution in that case.
Trump should have watched his language. Kids come to these.
