My first thought was to thank God. My second thought was to ask myself what I was doing. I stopped, wondering what to do. I had this overwhelming sense of gratitude, but suddenly I had nowhere to channel it; I could hardly be pleased with myself.
May I ask what drives this overwhelming desire to deny the existence of God to the point that you even scoff at the use of a common figure of speech used in situations of happiness and relief?
I do not believe the role of GOD to be at all determinable by my human sensibility, so I agree that it is pointless to figure out what is credited to GOD and what is credited to others and dish out thanks and gratitudes accordingly. Nevertheless, I frequently use such figurative language that references God, gods, spirits, spooks, and other supernatural entities.
Why so averse?
