When someone gives their blessings is it used as a way to push their religious views into others' face Do the religious use blessings as a way to be a walking talking human billboard to advertise their religion and force it upon others? Do those that say may God bless you and may the angels watch over you just assume that blessing should be acceptable to anyone they wish to express it to but would they feel comfortable if a Satanist blessed them by wishing that Satan and his legions of demons watch over them or would they enjoy it if someone bless them by sticking pins in a voodoo doll So are the religious just being arrogant by assuming that someone not of their faith wish to receive their blessings and not even comprehend or even care that others not of their faith may view their blessing the same as having a curse place on them No the religious are not being arrogant. It is those who take offense that are actively looking for an excuse to hate those with differing religious beliefs and/or cultures. Perhaps it is ALL of us (to varying degrees) who "hate" anyone with differing anything. We feel threatened by anything that won't agree with our individual modus operandi. "Heaven" forbid anything should prove us wrong.  since "Heaven" was the place where the first war and the first world war took place ... it's not the best example of preaching against Hate ...in fact isn't it the template for Hate ... Hence the quotation marks.

"Splendid" are you developing "parable syndrome" ...also everytyhing is not about hate ..."in God we trust" is on all the US currency but you won't find to many people that hate money but you may find many that don't want the religious term "in God we Trust" push into their face |

I meant that this was why I put the the word "Heaven" in quotation marks. Hence meaning: For this reason. In other words, because I don't believe in the "Heaven" that using that word would suggest, I'd put it in quotations to show the play on words. |

"parable syndrome" ...an acute condition that begins with a play on a few words in which over time the condition manifest into what is known as "DavidBen Syndrome" when the play on words becomes most of the words involved thus making the meaning of the message incomprehensible |

If you don't know who will? It is a hard question to answer. Perhaps we as mammals need a sense of acceptance in society or recognition and that was one way to do this. To create somekind of phrase or imaginative idealogy such as to bless one or to curse one to be taken seriously. I know that one had to say bless you because people at the time believed evil demons where escaping your soul and that is one way to eliminate it right away by saying bless you. Superstition continues to dominate the minds of people. Yet it all started with using imagination first |

No the religious are not being arrogant. It is those who take offense that are actively looking for an excuse to hate those with differing religious beliefs and/or cultures. "Melaschasm" .it's not about hate it's about someone pushing their religious beliefs upon someone not of their faith which is why it's arrogant just to assume that others wish to receive those blessings ... So when I told a friend at work about being promoted and he said "Allah be praised" he was actually trying to force his muslim beliefs upon me? And here I was naively thinking that he was just expressing his happiness about my good news. This guy isn't one of my closest friends, but I still think I would have noticed if he was really using that phrase to threaten me with condemnation to hell if I do not convert to Islam. I guess I just think people should be more tolerant of others, and if someone says "bless you" after you sneeze, I would rather take it as the (misguided) attempt at wishing someone well, that it was intended to be. |

All I say is, may your day be blessed, no direct assumption towards any particular religion, except in my own faith, which is, I want to bless you, and wish you a good day, or perhaps, give you some positive energy, or maybe, some positive attitude to promote a good day. That to me, is a blessing, they may take it any way they may choose. it is all done, out of good spirit. smiles
