Learned this a while ago - it's a Jewish custom.The word or name of God is too holy to be said/typed/written, which is why most of our Bibles say LORD instead of Yahweh - and why, in Hebrew, it's abbreviated YHWH or JHWH (which got mistranslated into "Jehovah" by monks, creating another synonym for God).
I've had many Jewish friends on all ranges of orthodoxy and concur that's generally their practice, and several protestant lines sort of follow it as well. I'm unsure of the logic, since "God" still isn't His name.
Granted, even as a representation of it, we probably should not be using it that way unless we are actually making an oath to Him or before Him, like bearing witness (aka testimony) - which incidentally is what that commandment is primarily about, testifying falsely.
I swear to G-d we weren’t going wild.
Maybe that one last Beach day on March 15th but honestly that was it.
Our stores and restaurants closed on st pattys day evening March 17th for good. Masks were in effect at all stores since March 20-something.
It’s all a lie. We’re not going crazy. Are businesses are fucked. Barely any tourism. Fake news is gonna fake bc they hate DeSantis.
I visited my aunt in St Pete’s in July and was shocked at crowded pool 🏊♀️ bars while down south was still a ghost town. I’m jealous of up north FL
EDIT: they held numbers back for 7 weeks in Miami lab & released them all on one day to make us look shitty. Buried down in paragraph 10 https://www.floridatoday.com/story/news/local/2020/08/12/state-reports-8-183-new-covid-19-cases-212-new-deaths/3349516001/
This is the second time today I've seen G-d, are we not allowed to say God in here? Am I in trouble now
lol I just did it bc I thought it was proper when "swearing" to Him. Plus, I saw someone else do it too
