Jerry, you bring up excellent points, but I'd like your opinion on something some friends of my friends do.
Since Christianity has been "exiled" here in the west, when someone sneezes, instead of the politically correct "bless you", they will say "God bless you" on purpose, to sort of "put God back in there. Weak, I know.

Another thing, what if some people sincerely say "Oh, my God" actually asking for God's help. I have a lot of physical pain-a great trial and spiritual gift from God-and when it gets really bad, I'll, in private whisper, "Oh, my God, save me!" I do this in private because I understand that I really am calling upon the name of our Lord, but I would never do it in public because people will think that I am using the secular cliche "Oh, my God". So I suppose my question is: What if "God" is used sincerely?
