I'm not going to get upset if someone says "Blessed" instead of "Happy." I would, however, probably then associate that their religion was different than what I practice, but was still Christian-based.
Hearing that from someone who I knew practiced a non-Christian faith would generate surprise and, if time permitted, perhaps a lengthy ecumenical discussion on any parallels, or differences between the two.
I'm usually just impressed that someone other than "church friends" cared to acknowledge it. |
