(68,918 posts)"The words echo through my skull, and for some reason I instantly think about Tebow's "blessed" football season, and the bible verse he had displayed as part of his uniform in Denver's last (losing) game of the season (ah, the hilarious irony...).
For the record - I am not against anyone having their religion. Really. I do, however, resent having someone else's religion jammed down my throat - I don't like being used in that way. It bugs me. A lot."
I fail to see where someone's religion was jammed down his throat either.
This is why I stay out of the Religion forums and Atheism/Agnostic forums. I simply don't give a shit and am not going to waste time being rude to what amounts to a Pavlovian response by a checker.
Case in point, I say "bless you" when someone sneezes (for the most part) but I mean absolutely nothing by it other than "I acknowledge that you have sneezed". Years of Catholic teaching. But it simply shouldn't cause someone to freak out. If it does, well it says more about them than me...in my opinion...because I don't care what someone believes or doesn't believe.
