III. You Shall Not Misuse the Name of the Lord Your God.

"You shall not misuse the Name of the Lord your God". Although we do not actually hear Homer swearing on the show, we do know that he used to have a swear jar and that it contained a lot of money.

Enough to buy a dog house and beer. I must assume that a man who swears this much will eventually use the Lords name in vain. To be literal, he does actually "Misuse" the Lords name when he is a missionary and he says "I don't even believe in Jebus". I doesn't even know the name of his God. "...Homer is even hazier on the nature of Jesus and Christianity than he is about God" (Pinsky, 22)
