Oh I get where you’re coming from. I used to feel the same way. I’m over it, now. I don’t expect anyone to think like me, anymore. These days, I’m just grateful for anyone who isn’t trying to take my money.
Look at it this way, if I said “may the force be with you,” would you expect the mods to intervene?
So, Do you really think you have the answers to the question? Even when Christ was on the earth we were nothing but pea brain knuckleheads. We could not do anything right and nothing has changed. God is shaking his head just like dad did when I was 18 saying to himself, “I told him and warned him and there he goes!” Later when we grow up we think to ourselves, Gee golly, I now understand what he was saying, dad did know what he was talking about!
We go about and try our best to understand him and then there are Catholics, Baptists, Mormons, Buddhists, Jews, and on. It does talk about the seven churches in Revelations and each church had their own problems. I have to say it though, Enoch and Elijah knew God and walked with God and they went to be with God without dying. How well do you know God?
Let’s look at this as it would pertain to a discussion about the Second Amendment.
Should the USCCA members vote and decided what one gun manufacturer every member can own have? Or should it be only one specific model of handgun?
When someone says try a Glock should it be offensive to Sig owners? I love my Sigs and I enjoy a lighthearted, joking banter about the Sig/Glock battle. But I know when someone says they love their Glocks they’re doing so because it works for them. They’re sharing the gun they believe in. There’s no ill intent.
When someone says “Have a blessed day” they’re wishing the best for you. They’re not telling you to buy the religion, it’s their way of saying I hope everything good comes your way today. They’re not to convert you. There’s no ill intent, in fact, it’s quite the opposite. Their intent is they want you to have the best and are sharing it in a way that they 100% believe in.
There are so many amazing people in this Community who truly want the best for everyone, it’s a very unique thing to be a part of especially in today’s social climate.
I welcome it when people say “Have a blessed day,” “May the force be with you,” “Sending positive thoughts your way,” or any other way people are sending their best wishes to me – I welcome all of the positive sentiment shared with me because their intent is to help me. And, trust me, there are days I need all the positive vibes I can get. 
This is only my opinion.
AMEN sister 
In the name of Colt, Browning, and Winchester. May Pope John Paul Sauer smile upon thee. Amen.
@Dawn - thou rocketh. Thank you for being our Community Manager. This place would be a lot less sane and a lot less fun without you here.
2A does have religious implications, regardless of what your faiths is. Are you always supposed to turn the other cheek? Is concealing a weapon kosher? What about thou shalt not kill - e.g. adepts of Jainism take it to such extreme they wear masks not to inhale and kill bugs by accident? Is it ok to have weapons in the House of Worship? Etc. etc.
For the atheists these are not religious but moral questions. Though what is the source of morality? It is another social construct I suppose, like XY chromosomes and skin color.
The problem with pushing religion out of the public arena has a detrimental effect on the ground work for the Bill of Rights. They are predicated on God given rights. Once you throw God out you no longer have justification for those rights. Frankly, I don’t trust anyone that pushes back against people’s belief in God. Much of our laws are based on belief in God. Without God we’re just saying “it seems fair but I don’t know why”. I’ll stop there. This is really a deep philosophical discussion that would be way over most peoples head.
Well, it all sounds all warm and fluffy and friendly until someone comes on here and writes, “Hail Satan.”
Then the screaming and the calls for censorship start…
Well, deliberately promoting evil is not good thing. Your argument is invalid. Now if I seriously believe in Thor or some other deity that’s interesting. But what deity is evil? Evil is evil. It exists to harm people.
In order to buy into the concept of Evil as a sentient force, you would need to buy into the notion of Divinity as a sentient force—i.e. in other words, one would need to buy into a religious construct, which cancels the points of view of atheists and agnostics, who might not believe in either.
But if you would insist that Evil actually exists to harm people—and insist that non-believers or others hold the same view—then you would be insisting that others subscribe to your particular religious beliefs. That, my friend, is tyranny in the flesh.
And that is why I do NOT trust anyone that denies God. Case and point.
Edited:
There is a long personal history of distrusting in my life for saying this. I do not mean to insult. It’s a gut reaction tied to me psychologically and rooted in surviving many life threatening attacks on me. Way too much information to reveal. Much of it is directly related to my 100% PTSD rating. I have learned not to trust anybody. Even a Traditional Catholic priest advised or reassured me not to trust anyone regarding the teachings of the Catholic Church (because there are so many misleading people).
Odin - healing, death, knowledge, sorcery, poetry, battle and the runic alphabet. A god of frenzy, betrayal, and death.
God bless you…
Ever notice that both Santa and Satan are portrayed wearing a red suit ?
Santa punched Arianus in the nose.
Do you think there is only one god ?
He also lost to Moses in a rap battle.

Side note: I hope no one is losing their minds because we’re having some fun and pun with religious topics. Religion is a fascinating topic and I respect your right to your own conscience. But I think it helps conversation to keep things light. Besides, I believe God has a sense of humor.
Credo
Credo in unum Deum,
Patrem omnipoténtem,
factórem cæli et terræ,
visibílium ómnium et invisibílium;
Et in unum Dóminum Jesum Christum,
Fílium Dei unigénitum,
et ex Patre natum, ante ómnia sǽcula,
Deum de Deo, lumen de lúmine,
Deum verum de Deo vero,
génitum, non factum, consubstantiálem Patri,
per quem ómnia facta sunt,
Qui propter nos hómines et propter nostram salútem
descéndit de cælis,
Et incarnátus est de Spíritu Sancto
ex María Vírgine, et homo factus est,
Crucifíxus étiam pro nobis sub Póntio Piláto,
passus et sepúltus est,
et resurréxit tértia die,
secúndum Scriptúras,
et ascéndit in cælum,
sedet ad déxteram Patris,
Et íterum ventúrus est cum glória,
judicáre vivos et mórtuos,
cujus regni non erit finis;
Et in Spíritum Sanctum, Dóminum et vivificántem,
qui ex Patre Filióque procédit,
Qui cum Patre et Fílio simul adorátur et conglorificátur,
qui locútus est per prophétas;
Et unam, sanctam, cathólicam et apostólicam Ecclésiam,
Confíteor unum baptísma in remissiónem peccatórum,
Et exspecto resurrectiónem mortuórum,
et vitam ventúri sǽculi.
Amen
