text: for wiccans:  are you offended when someone says "god bless?"? i'm curious.  i am never offended by such greetings as "blessings be," but when the word goddess is mentioned, i tend to be offended.  i think it is because i perceive that to be directly opposed to my belief.  i was wondering if you have similiar views? no, i don't.  my aunt always ends our phone calls with bless you.  it just means to me she is thinking about me is all.
