Christians are often unaware of the ways in which they violate the 2d Commandment (3d for some of you) about taking God's name in vain. It is, of course, wrong to use "God dammit" or "Jesus Christ! as mere expletives. But those are relatively minor offences in comparison with appealing to the Word of God in support of our own private notions (as Bob notes below), claiming that God is the head of our political party or (as some TV personalities have been known to do) using God's name to bully people into sending them money for their personal "ministries."
Shalom,
George
