Overused religious words.... GO...
When I lost my child right before the due date - it is God’s plan.
I despise that phrase.
Thoughtless, tactless, meaningless and infuriating, but you are supposed take it as comforting.
given the premise there is a god then
If it is true God is a Bastard
If it is false God is a negligent bastard
The one i find the most annoying is “I just don’t feel like God is pulling me in that direction right now”. Instead of just saying “No. I don’t want to”
Thoughts and prayers
yeah that's a great excuse for sanctimoniously doing fuck all, that one
Miracle. CBS throws this word around like it is a fact or something equally tangible. I want to put my foot through the TV every time I hear it.
BLESSED! As in "blessed day''......yuch!
I'd go for a real Blessed day if it was to commemorate this guy, the great Brian Blessed (as Vultan, king of the Hawkmen)
“God blessed our union with children”........No, you and your partner had sexual intercourse and that is the usual consequence, as it is throughout the animal kingdom!
'I'll pray for you." Someone just said that to me this morning. Just tell me good luck or that I'm a bomb ass human being capable of anything I stick my mind to, so I don't even need luck.
Boom.
I'll pray for you
You do that and Ill sick my pink ballet dancing unicorn on you, in his Armoured assault vehicle that shoot out explosive chamber pots full of peppermint ringworm souffle
Even the Devil can cite scripture
love that one, in other words (Actually reading the bible is cheating you know!" )
Sin
Hellfire
Atonement
Salvation/Saviour
Collection plate/offertory
The whole basis of Christianity in 5 words
How about these words? Oppression, obsession, repression....
Satan invented jobs, holds worldwide knowledge, curiosity, loves sex and money.
Those ideas might convert me.
Some of us are trying to remove the words with religious connotations from our vocabulary. words as soul, spiritual and a lot of others I can't think of at the moment. We try to find secular replacements. One thing I feel is very important is to remove the word less from some of our language: Childless and godless should be child free and god free. Free is much more positive than less.
Salvation (it's not coffee, sorry)
Baptism ("baptized by fire" is cool; otherwise nah)
Enlightenment (just don't)
Yoga (my ears are bleeding)
Nirvana (if you're not Kurt Cobain, GTFO)
Buddha (unintelligible growling)
Bodhi (how many little boys are running around with this name who will never know that it means "awakening"??)
