Ban Triste-chan! Hell, I don't know. Do gods really pay attention to words of blessing when there's no actual intent behind it? I mean, I use 'God bless you' even though I don't believe in God, just because it's what I've been taught to say. I mean, considering the number of times people say 'Bless you,' you'd think that they'd get the picture and kind of cut out some of the extras, you know? Get a secretary to trash all the requests for blessings after a sneeze.
Well, if one accepts an idea of a celestial bureaucrcy, with angles or spirits, or what have you, then there may be such servitors which specifically are tasked to dealing with such well intentioned responses. ninja |

Maybe Frey... maybe Loki. Canada. |

I say Gesundheit, simply because I prefer it.
When I was younger I thought people were saying "Bleshoo", because it was such a hurried response. I never thought about it, so I said "Bleshoo" too. xD
I don't exactly feel comfortable when people say "God Bless You" or "God Bless America" or "(Whomever) Bless (Whatever)".
I'm not at your church, circle, temple, mosque, ect, therefore, I'm obviously not asking to hear about your religious views.
If someone just says "Bless you", then I take that to mean that they personally are sending me their blessings. Some people say it like they mean it, others don't.
Also, about the spermicide, Sue Johanson (don't know if you've heard of her, famous old lady with a bunch of degrees in sex-related topics) says that studies are now showing that spermicides don't work at all. I'm on the pill, but I use condoms, and the rythmn method. (If you don't know what that is then go to cyclebeads.com and snag a picture of them. You don't need to buy them xP). I know the rythmn method isn't exactly right, but birth control is my back-up plan, not my only plan.
How do you know that your pill failed if you aren't even sure that you are "with child" yet?
Sorry if I'm digging too deep into your business, I promise I'm not trying to offend.

I'd blame your comdoms, frankly... confused
And I'd take morning after pills, if you really don't want to be with child. Safer than an abortion, and better safe than sorry. |
