BTW, it's also foolish of Locrian to think that when someone asks him to avoid swearing using God's name, it's because they think they need to keep him from uttering such words lest he fall into Hell.

After all, some people are just uncomfortable with that kind of langauge. Also, if people really feel some sort of devotion to God, perhaps they don't like his name being used disrespectfully. To paraphrase another person, "I had a teacher who took us to watch 'Meet the Parents' on a free day. She never said anything in order to 'get points from the big guy,' but she winced a little when the phrase 'goddammit' was said."
