Christians believe that "Using the name in vain" can cause a person to be sent to Hell when they die. However, there is some amount of debate as to what using the name in vain means. Some people believe that simply saying "oh God," is using the name in vain, but the original meaning was closer to "do not claim that you are acting to perform the will of God, when in fact you are simply acting in your own interests."
