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?


...er...DUH ....


And here I was naively thinking that he was just expressing his happiness about my good news.


"Melaschasm"...then why didn't he praise you with your God ..and if you don't have a God or if he didn't bother to ask who your god was it appears that he conveniently gave you Allah


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.


well you are his a co-worker and he may felt that it would have been impolite if he called you an infidel


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.


well I guess it's less misguilded to say "bless you" then to say "those demons in your body are trying to come out your nose heathen"

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 flowerforyou


"lilwick" ..all someone can do is to inform you of how that behavior can effect others in a negative way...if you choose to still go around blessing people only proves the point that you don't care and are in fact cursing them
