I don't see why you shouldn't be able to thank your favourite deity in  
public how you want. I mean it is you thanking it/him/her and not someone  
else believing in something else. Pretty intolerant of some people to  
complain.


i just found it funny somehow that things have come to use %deity, in a  
way it shows how society is today. But really people should be more  
tolerant.
