The Bible and OLD AGE #22 … Is saying ‘OH, GOD’ wrong and sinful?

Many Americans, old and young, use God’s name in a frivolous manner and never imagine that they are cursing or committing sin. However, study of Exodus 20:7 shows that using God’s name in a thoughtless way is wrong. In Jesus’ prayer in Matthew 6:9, He says for us to treat God’s name in a hallowed manner. Thus, everything about God is to be treated as holy. I should not be saying, “Oh, God” carelessly or without thought.
