I assume you are christian in that case. Imagine you called a government agency and were welcomed by "May lord Zeus bestow great riches to you and your family"; "Arcadia the Fairy Queen smiles upon you" ; "Gaia our earth mother embrasses her wican family" etc. Get it now? It is insulting, patronizing (and delusinoal) to assume others are taken in by the same fantasies.

If Julian Bond is offended by someone wanting him to have a "Blessed Day", he is obviously a very troubled, angry, bitter and small man. Much worse than I would have thought.
