Thou shalt not take the name of the Lord thy God in vain
"Thou shalt not take the name of the Lord thy God in vain" is the second or third of God's Ten Commandments to man in the Abrahamic religions. It is a prohibition of blasphemy, specifically, the misuse or "taking in vain" of the name of the God of Israel, or using His name to commit evil, or to pretend to serve in His name while failing to do so.
And I asked for forgiveness because I was guilty too! I felt like an asshole when I realized what I had been doing. I had a lot to ask forgiveness for, though. Just one of the many

Now I also cringe when I hear it.
