I suppose ‘God bless’ is a general form of blessing. Some atheists don’t like it. Others dismiss it.
It is sad when a society hates God so much that it can’t bear the mention of God’s name. God is the source of all morals and good. Why do we all act with such pretense?
People have to learn to distinguish between God Himself and hypocrites. God is all good. It’s just the church that gives a bad name to God.
I apologize for the Orthodox church’s sins. I apologize for them placing themselves on a pedestal, while not reaching out to the distressed and lonely. I pray you forgive them.
I pray you forgive me and the church I represent.
