Are words such as “gosh” “jeez” and “Lordy” considered taking God’s name in vain?

I honestly don’t know the particular severity of those words but generally advise against using substitution words out of an abundance of caution. After all, I’m sure you won’t want to end up in “heck” out of carelessness.
The problem remains: how do we communicate effectively among people who do use profanity?

Hi Duffy,
No, these expressions are not taking the Lord’s name in vain. But a good communicator avoids “filler words” and tries to use specific words that say what is meant.

Not swear words, but don’t use them if you’re over the age of 12.
