Topic: To Bless Is To Curse | |
---|---|
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 ![]() "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 |
