My Minister said the Lord's name in vain during a passing remark. Should I find another church?

During dismissal, my Minister was being cordial and joking around with people. Then in response to a statement, he said "Oh Lord, is that what we are doing now?" in a joking manner.
I worry that it is a petty thing to get up-in-arms-over, but I have been incredibly bothered by it.

I haven't considered making any inquiries to the church because I do not like talking to those I am not well acquainted with

This is a misinterpretation of the commandment. "Taking the lord's name in vain" means saying things like "if you do/don't do X God will strike you down!" Basically shit you hear from televangelists on any day ending in Y.

Edit:
I know KJV English is a bit archaic, but use common sense. What is the definition of the word vain?

Tip, the last one is only there because modernist "Christians" are retarded.
From a Jewish perspective, taking God's name in vain isn't referring to saying any stand ins like lord or adonai, it's taking God's proper name he gave to Moses (YHWH) in vain. That's how the ancient Israelites would've almost certainly have understood it. That being said, I don't know if the almighty would appreciate that type of joking response, but it's not violating the 3rd commandment

When in doubt check what the bible has to say
“Take the blasphemer outside the camp. All those who heard him are to lay their hands on his head, and the entire assembly is to stone him. Say to the Israelites: ‘Anyone who curses their God will be held responsible; anyone who blasphemes the name of the Lord is to be put to death. The entire assembly must stone them. Whether foreigner or native-born, when they blaspheme the Name they are to be put to death."
Looks like you gotta get the whole church together for a good old fashioned stoning

Good luck OP
 
Given you call him a "minister" I assume we are taking about Protestant trash. Not being a part of the only true Christian Holy Roman Catholic Church, your minister is going to hell anyway, so what difference does a little blasphemy on top make? None, really.

It is our duty to pray for those who have gone astray.
