Well I've openly admitted to believing in God, so yeah, I'd rather it be left as it is...I've never actually said that it didn't matter to me. I don't find it offensive so I don't think it should be changed. To those who don't believe in God (or who don't believe in the Christian God), I don't understand why it's so offensive. It's not like it's being shoved down their throats like a person coming door-to-door. If I'm listening to someone speak, I don't get offended if they don't mention God, nor do I get offended if they mention their own God (by whatever name they choose to call Him)...if people don't get offended by no mention or by mention under another name, why do some people get offended simply by hearing "God" in a speech?
And as you said, it's for the .1% who it offends who things are changed for. Don't the other 99.9% count?
