Want people to sign who would like to have Gods name in vain removed in the future Stranger Things Season 4. Season 3 of Stranger Things had nearly 20 occasions where God’s name was used in vain. This is a great show without having to hear it. We would love to continue to watch the series without it making us feel uneasy in our right to be a Christian. I would like anyone to sign that would be ok removing God’s name in vain whether they believe in God or not. We’re not forcing our belief on anyone just would prefer to watch this wonderful show without feeling we’re going against our faith. Thank you! :-)

The characters are saying either GD or JC almost constantly, and it doesn't add anything to the dialogue. I will not be watching any further episodes if it continues.

This practice steals the joy from watching. Do they not like Christian or Jewish fans? It’s easy enough to leave it out.

This was an awesome series without the use of God’s name or Jesus name in vain. For a person trying to walk in a light of faith. I was so looking forward to watching this third season and when I heard what was in, it I didn’t even bother to watch.

It should never be used in such a way. Sad.

It's absolutely disgusting, and shows no sense of intelligence or respect to other religions. You won't disrespect other religions this much so why disrespect Jesus? And these actors are supposed to be role models for the youth, I would argue that they are far from any sort of role models for the youth, while openly expressing hate towards a religion, then to play it off like it's just art...it's art to be well spoken and well rounded in respecting all religions and people with the words we choose to speak...the writers could have easily picked other words instead of and over use of GD and JC with the over use it's and attack on Christianity trying to normalize disrespect together religions groups.

Thou Shalt Not Take The Lord's Name in Vain. This was a deliberate and repetitive insult to God interjected as blasphemies into a narrative audiences were sincerely watching as a creative and intriguing story. These blasphemies will not go unnoticed by God, as this series will be replayed and watched by billions of people around the world.
