Heaven forbid someone use a colloquialism! How will they ever be understood?
(For the sake of clarity I feel I must point out that I do not believe Heaven should, in fact, forbid such a practice. I fear without this clarification my first sentence is impossible to understand.)
You shouldn't use religious slang in your writing, it offends the Puritans.
"Heaven" originally meant "the visible sky" so this is fine.
