"It was totally a God thing."
#1
"It was totally a God thing."
Maybe it's because I'm more sensitive to it now, but I notice this sort of language with just about anything that happens to anyone ever. I'm sure most of you know what I'm talking about.

Things like "My brother in law ended up in the hospital, but it was totally a God thing because we are going on vacation, so my wife doesn't have to worry as much." That was actually said to me and all I feel like I can do is smile and nod.

Is there ever an appropriate time to say "You realize how stupid that sounds, right?"
