666 the god of Atheist

The point I am making is that , it seems atheistic thinking substitutes luck where a theist says God.  “God Bless you” becomes “Best of luck.”

LOL... That's nonsense. There's no such thing as luck, just as there is no such thing as god. If a rational person sincerely wishes you "best of luck" - they mean that they hope the outcome of whatever it is you're attempting will be favorable to you. It's an expression of support, NOT a magic spell...

LOL, again... "Putting good word"? Rolleyes What kind of demented megalomaniacs think they can tell god what to do? When theists say "God bless you", they're essentially pretending they have magical powers. Yeah, thanks for not telling your imaginary friend to smite my ar*e with a thunderbolt instead. You must be really pious and important... Tongue

Again - "best of luck" is an expression of moral support. It's not supposed to actually do anything, other than let you know someone would like to see you succeed. "God bless you" - if sincerely meant - is just an attempt to score points with your non-existent sky-daddy and push your religion in someone else's face. It's fine if you know they share your faith, I suppose - but it's still stupid as f*ck.
