John Merlino knew this and >that is why he used the title he did. It doesnt "offend" me. I have read these quotes many times.I am a christian. Things I find offensive are when people suck their babies from their stomachs, murder one another,cut me off in traffic,punch me, call me directly a name etc...when someone decides on a certain word over another I am not offended. I have too many other things to worry about that actually affect my life ( bills,pollution,war,cancer, aids, family, job security, being paralyzed in a car wreck) than getting upset over a word choice.
