One reason is because as the Apostle Paul said, "These men blaspheme in matters they don't understand." If they did understand, they would realize that they were taking God's holy name in vain and disgracing it. In fact, one of the ten commandments is, "Thou shalt not take thy Lord's name in vain."

Another reason people swear is that they must swear by someone bigger than themselves. You never hear anyone swear by their own name. It is also a force of habit. I read a tract once about someone who asked people who swore, "Why must God damn it?" I would like to do this someday but have never done it yet. Would be interesting though.

Man has a tendency to lay the blame on deity, because they could have prevented that which happened. We think that God or Christ will prevent all unsavoury things from happening, forgetting that God will not interfere with what man does. We say"Oh my God" and then subconsciously add "Why."
