I understand taking the Lord's name in vain breaks a commandment, but again, I don't think it's because He would be offended.

If one of your children looked you straight in the eye and intensely said "I HATE YOU!" - how would you feel?
How should your husband feel about his wife being treated in such a way by his children?
Shouldn't a loving husband protect his wife against such treatment from anybody - let alone his own children?
If we were ants on a log, or flies or plants, then I don't think Mother would care as we would be mere insects/plants/mortals. But we're human beings and we're children of a Heavenly Father (and Mother). Mom's feelings are much more tender than Father's.
