Sometimes I think we atheists/agnostics put just a bit too much importance on some "religious" words.

Words like: Thankful, luck, blessed, amen.

I made a comment today that I was so lucky to get out of work in time to see the game.

A fellow nonbeliever seemed to get triggered over my word choice and went on and on and ON over there is no such thing as luck and that I sounded like a believer...blah, blah, blah.

After he exhausted himself talking, I asked him if he felt better and then told him, "Dude, you know me. You know I do not believe in the wooo hooo shit so you know it was just me saying I was glad to be able to leave. Next time you do something silly and I call you a son of a bitch, are you going to want to fight me for insulting your mom? No, because you can use common sense...most of the time."

He pouted in the corner with his beer the rest of the time I was there. insert eye roll

I see atheists do it all the time though. Someone says bless you and they get triggered. Someone says have a blessed day, they get triggered. Someone says they are thankful...triggered.

I wish I had so little things in my life to worry about that I could mount a crusade every time someone used a word I thought might be used as a "religious" word.

Bless all their little hearts.
