The Our Father hasn't changed on bit, and most of the other things only had one or two words added or swapped.

A lot of people have no qualms about using God's name in vain, and I try pretty hard to avoid doing that by saying something like "oh my gosh" or "oh snap" or something like that. I know these days atheism is becoming more of thing and a lot of people don't really care anymore, but I'm still a pretty firm Christian (not too crazy though) and I make a hard effort not to do that kind of thing.
You would be correct. They did change it to "The Lord be With you" "And with your spirit" but for whatever reason that is not my immediate response to "May the force be with you". I don't know. They also changed several things like the Eucharistic consecration, etc. The reason is because it's closer to what the original Latin text said than what we have. For the most part I've got it down and can say it no issue, but for whatever reason I have to say "and also with you" whenever I hear someone blessing me with the Force.

I used to be a lot stricker with not using the lord's name in vain, but as I grew more integrated into public school, I've found myself not really holding back anymore. I still refrain from cursing, because if you can't a good argument with proper vocabulary then you shouldn't be making the argument at all, but I still find myself say "Oh my God!" or "Jesus!" sometimes. Though, for a little while I tried to switch to saying words that sounded similar but weren't the same, but I found people did not take me as seriously if I did that. I'm trying to say gosh or jeez but it's hard to step back once you've crossed that boundary.
