"You shall not take the name of the Lord your God in vain."

"Remember the sabbath day, to keep it holy. Six days you shall labor, and do all your work; but the seventh day is a sabbath to the Lord your God; in it you shall not do any work."

Why is it so bad to take God's name in vain? Why do I have to go to Mass every Sunday? How late is too late to rock up to Mass? Can I go to work on Sundays?
