I was reading an American romance novel, in which the protagonist took the name of God in vain on a regular basis.
It got me thinking on how the Christians object the use of "Jesus," "Christ" and even "God" in everyday use, while Muslims think it's a good thing to use Allah's name in every other sentence we speak.
I just felt an urge to point out this difference.
I quite understand why Muslims sprinkle "Allah" everywhere in our daily lives, but what's the logic in the concept of "taking the Lord's name in vain?"
Anyone?
