I grew up on the Northside of Chicago, and our baseball team was the Chicago Cubs. Harry Caray (1914-1998) was a famous radio and TV broadcaster for the Chicago Cubs baseball team for many years. Mr. Caray was renowned for his exuberant saying, “Holy Cow!” Although such casual misuse of the Biblical term “holy” may not seem disrespectful to many people, it most certainly is to God. We ought never make light of the holy things of God. To curse in the Lord's name identifies one's self with the wicked world and Satan.

Such misuse of the word “holy” was also featured in the script of the 1970's Batman series, with Robin continually making such exclamations as: “Holy %$#@* Batman!” Never in the history of America have so many people misused and abused spiritual terms, and taking God's name in vain, as they do today. Any mention of the word “holy” should only be reserved for that which is Biblically holy; such as, the Holy Spirit or the Holy Bible. It is evil to call a cow “holy,” or God forbid, calling dung “holy,” which is popular in Hollywood films (i.e., “holy sh*t”). It couldn't be more obvious that such a wicked term originated with God-haters!

It is more than coincidental that even your Atheists curse in God's name, especially when they get angry. If you don't believe the Bible for the Bible's sake, then believe it for the self-incriminating nature of man. At the climax of pain, anger, joy, or pleasure... God's name is often taken in vain by the sinful world. A common expression heard today is... "Oh my God!" This is sinful when used is passive speech. The name of God is holy and we should be careful to show great respect.
