"Thank God"

Why? There's a whole commandment telling you not to. Obviously sin isn't going to be completely avoided, but your Christianity is nothing more than lip service if you casually shrug off your sins, or fail to even think of them as sins at all.

Uh, because if being offended by something were cause enough to stay away from it, we'd all be hermits.

You're right, there is indeed a commandment about not taking God's name in vain. But saying "thank God" about something when you're expressing sincere thankfulness for it isn't taking His name in vain. And berating a person for USING the word "God", simply because their definition of the term differs from hers, was hardly "christian".

The part that doesn't make sense to me is that she says "you've never been one to make sense." Do you know her that well?

It should have the name of the person posted next to the rep.

And now, a note to any folks who ever find themsleves offended.

If you are the type of person that doesn't like being offended, then I suggest getting on a boat, and hittin the open waves for some nice quiet time. Or try these ultra bizarre solutions to some common offenders:

If something on TV offends you, turn it off.
If something on the radio offends you, turn it off and stop exposing yourself to it.
If something on a website offends you, close your browser.


Now, if you would like other people to change their habits or the way they articulate themsleves, you should take a nice long walk on a short pier OR GO SOMEWHERE ELSE. This country and this planet are not here follow along with your way of life.

Don't like that?

TOUGH *****.

Sammy getting rep from me.

It almost sounds like she was looking for an excuse to give you bad rep Sammy. The dig sounds personal.

By the way...you've always made perfect sense to me.

What about certain clothing stores saying "Happy Holidays" instead of "Merry Christmas"? That got me angry. Would you say that would have to affiliate with God?

Haha, man. I just found this through the rep system and all I could do was just keep laughing. "If deviousness is also incompatible with theism, then [Insert Name Here] qualifies as a 'practical atheist.'" It really does make me laugh. I still love ya Samsonite. Even if you are a hooligan.

"Thanking God" is no longer a religious sentiment! It has become a commercial way of expressing something everyone can relate to. "Thank God it's Friday", "Thank God my check didn't bounce!" Let's face it, God is no longer someone we praise of miracles, God is something we use to communicate how we feel when something goes our way.
