In that way I hate it more when people say they will pray for me, or add me to their prayers. Uuuhhm, I don't need that, thanks but no thanks.
When I was younger my dad told me this about Americans:
"Even total strangers act like they like you a lot, and apparently you are always blessed by god"
I always think of that when I hear those words.
I think words like that loose their meaning after they are used so often not that they have meaning to me at all. But if there are people that use them so much they will say it without even thinking about it at some point.
Just like the "Oh my god" I hear in a lot of American tv shows and movies.
Well the "O my god" is more of a swearish kinda thing, like someone saying "shit" or "damn". Even atheist in America still say "o my god!". But I can see what you're saying about meaningless words; like the myth of faeries hating the words "thank you".
