The first sentence, of course, contained 2 negatives which cancelled each other and I was able to construct the sentence as normal.

Double negative again - means it's back to normal, so negating it again makes it come out backward. Your statement effectively translates to "Take His name in vain". Now if we put back the "Doff't" with your sentence, then super - we have a triple negative and I would then no longer have any idea what the hell it means.

And who are you not calling impubump?
