Minced Oaths

God's name is taken more times in vain in churches than anywhere else. The blasphemy in the sanctuary is worse than the blasphemy in the street! 

[John MacArthur]

Here are a few examples of minced oaths:
   Gosh -- God
   Gosh darned -- God damned
   Heck -- Hell
   Jeez -- Jesus
   Dang -- Damn
   Darn -- Damn
   Darnation -- Damnation
   Doggone -- God damn
   Gee whizz -- Jesus
   My goodness -- My God
   My gosh -- My God
   Tarnation -- Damnation
   Good grief -- Good God
   Goodness gracious -- Good God
   By golly -- By God
   By gosh -- By God
   Cripes -- Christ

Exodus 20:7 ... Thou shalt not take the name of the Lord thy God in vain; for the Lord will not hold him guiltless that taketh his name in vain.
