Thank god?

@LuckyCharms Said

In my first full time job out of college, the owner of the company (my boss, small company) was a reborn christian. Ugh. I got it ALL the time.

"'Lucky', have you accepted Jesus as your personal savior?"

"'Lucky', you realize your grandmother belongs to a cult and is going to hell right?" (She was mormon.)

"'Lucky', if you don't accept Jesus in your life as your savior, you'll spend eternity in hell."

And on and on and on.

Mind you this is from the same man that called his wife a 'f***ing stupid b****' to a customer because she misprinted a check. (I called him on that one - even though I found his wife as loathsome as he was.)

There's few things worse than a reborn. I avoid them like the plague. However I also don't bother to let turns of phrase get under my skin. It's pointless. Not like it'll ever change anyone's mind.

You can take this as a bit of advise or a warning or just plain hard facts, but believe me, you do not want to be cornered up by a holy roller at any time or place and that sort of person will certainly 'teach' a non believer ' to mind their P's and Q's . if your a no god person then be a no god person. Hence the question why use thank god if what you mean is thank goodness.

So you're complaining about people who are "holy rollers," people who tell nonreligious people how to be religious, and then you go on to tell me that I'm not being a "no god person" well enough?

I'm not complaining , I'm explaining ,about holy rollers.
I'm sorry for the misunderstanding about whether your enough of a 'no god person' .
I wasn't questioning the level of your non belief in a christian god, I questioned why as a non believer you would say ' thank god'.

I gave you an answer - I don't take it as literally as you. I would expect our differences in experiences explain this pretty well.
