As long as you started this thread, I hate when hosts end their show with "Have a blessed day." Someone did that just yesterday (female host - didn't even know who she is). People should keep religious wishes to themselves; surely Q has some atheist / agnostic viewers.

Wow. I love and appreciate it when a host says have a blessed day. We need MORE of that in the world today!
No doubt a lot of people like it, but it's not applicable to their entire audience. They shouldh't be expressing anything religious or political as host IMO. I am delighted for you to get "blessings" for your day elsewhere, if you appreciate that thought. Many people don't.

So, I guess I will wish that you do NOT have a blessed day? Wow you can't say anything these days without ticking some sensitive soul off. Do you really think someone is imposing religious beliefs on you by wishing you a blessed day? You really have to go some to get that out of it.

I don't see anyone on this thread looking to be offended. As I stated in my post above, I'm not offended in the least. I think it's inappropriate, and the posts agreeing with me are expressing the same. There are ways of wishing people a good day without imposing one's own beliefs on them. Again, I think it's inappropriate and actually self-centered of the hosts not to include everyone in their well wishes for a nice day. I don't believe in "blessed" days, so the hosts aren't including me in their well wishes, and are being short-sighted thinking they are wishing everyone listening to them a nice day.

Actually the hosts excluded no one with their well wishes.

It's an affectation. Period.

Wow. Do you get this "vocal" when someone wishes you a merry Christmas? Do you put them in their place, right then and there, that you do NOT want them pushing their religion down your throat?

Or, do you just smile, accept the well wish, in the spirit that it was intended?
