Same reason Mephistopheles gets all the good lawyers, I 'spose. This came up last year, after Falwell died; neither Heaven nor Hell wanted him, and they had to take it to court. After a lengthy hearing, Eternity & Kismet ruled in favor of Satan, and Jerry went to join the choir invisible.
Did you know that taking the lords name in vein is, by definition, trying to gain something for oneself by the authority of God’s name?

I think you mean vain.

What, you didn’t know that the lord’s name came intravenously now? When your vitamin G level’s get too low it’s a quick fix.
That’s funny. I have a friend who uses “Vitamin G” as a euphemism for marijuana.
See, that’s a matter of like appealing to like.
Are you saying Our Lord Jesus Christ is a cuckoo crazy big elastic pants?

I think you mean levels.

I wonder how long before Gaudere takes his vengeance upon me?
Aha!
You should have put the word “levels” in quotation marks.
No, bolding it serves the same purpose. But don’t worry. I have been tempting Gaudere all week, and the Dark One will not be mocked.
Isn’t Gaudere female?
I speak not of the administrator known as Gaudere, but of the the master wordsmith for whom she was named – an Ainu who was, for a brief time, corrupted to Melkor’s service, and who has now returned to the mansions of the Valar. But though Gaudere once again stands in Iluvatur’s service, he retains the mark of his former master, and thus delights in pedantry and nitpicking. Thus all who love words love Gaudere, and yet they fear him.
Damn it!
There has to be something in there.
Commas before “ands”? Double dashes? Lack of a semi-colon somewhere?
Throw us a frickin’ bone here.

As if I would not be cautious when poking a notably irritable panserbjørn with an extremely short stick. Each of these posts is being proofread with far more care than usual.
I have learned from my mistakes, no less than he whom I tempt.
Somebody grab a Strunk and White; we need an adjudication on whether that should be no less than him whom I tempt.
Can we just take the fact that **Skald **edited his last post as ipso facto, quad erat demonstratum, e pluribus unum, post hoc, iridium, ehay uckedfay omethngsay, proof that there was an error in there at one point?
Oh, that’s fine. You can even try to give it to him yourself, if you’re feeling enterprising. 
Gaudere IS female, for the record. It’s beyond my expertise to speculate on the sex of gods or angels of which she has become an avatar, but in her human form she’s definitely a woman.

Thank you. I had been thinking that there existed a little-known deity named “buddy”.
