"Let us know what you think."
Why does mankind use God and Christ as a form of swearing?
Three points. First, there is a special place in the heart of humanity that recognizes God and Jesus as something special. For some, their faith makes Him precious. For others, our sin nature resists and rejects Him. Second, when we use God’s name in any other way than in worship, we are grieving the Holy Spirit if we are a believer (Ephesians 4:30-31), or heaping judgment on ourselves if we are not (Matthew 12.36). Third, consider who stands to gain from man cheapening words like God, Christ, Jesus, Damn, and Hell by their misuse.
