To be fair, it’s both. It basically just says “Don’t invoke God’s name unless it’s important”. Don’t swear by God unless you actually mean it, don’t call out his name in thanks unless you genuinely believe it, and so on and so on.
Tbh it could have just been God going “You know how you get a ping when someone does an @everyone on Discord and it really annoys you? Yeah well I get that whenever someone uses my name, so knock it off unless it’s important!”
Im not Christian anymore but the more I study scripture the more I am inclined to believe God is neither all powerful or all knowing. For example if he was all knowing, he would have never promised Noah not to flood the earth again. There is not a chance in the universe that the world was more wicked in the past than it is today. If by no other standard than sheer numbers. More people have been killed in the last 200 years than humans alive in the time before Christ.

God asking everyone to only @me for something really important and then having to mute notifications really makes a lot of sense overall.
No it isn’t. God has a name and it’s not God. The reason we refer to him as God and not his name is this exact reason, so as not to use it in vain.
I told my buddy that god has a proper name and he was like, “No way!” And I was like, “Yahweh!”
Because an all-knowing all-powerful being doesn’t know when you’re talking about it unless you use its birth name I guess

Yeah it’s like when your mom calls you by your full name and you know you’ve really fucked up.
How would it even have a birth name?
You’ll have to ask pacattack, I was being sarcastic
Maybe he shouldn’t have so many names then lol
