It was on fire when I laid down on it.
Ugh. OK.
"By about 1 billion years after the Big Bang, the end of the period known as the cosmic dawn, the Universe was entirely reionized. Ta-da! The lights were on."
No make believe….. like jesus
I believe Jesus existed, just not as the person described in the bible
But lighting the universe, humans didn't exist nearly14 billion years ago.

I don’t believe in the person described in the Bible either. I believe “Jesus” is here now, although I don’t call him Jesus.
That's a bit of it, a tiny, tiny bit.
'tiz your belief, mine is somewhat different.

Yours is at the other end of the spectrum where there’s no room for belief in anything supernatural

Other religions use that. Like the Wiccan's Blessed Be.

Right but Christians use it too and there are a lot more of them.

True but my brain sort of cut off there.
Like anything else, its got to spark your interest.

That's true and it does not spark mine very much.

It's not a Christian term though. The Jews have a concept and word for it, Germanic Paganism is probably where our modern English word amd concept is ultimately derived from, even Hindus, Buddhists amd some Polynesian groups have blessings.

It's a Christian phrase.
I think you are looking for some argument so you could find it elsewhere.

It's definitely Christian Lingo where I come from and where I live now.

No, it's not. What you're trying to do is comparable to how many try to use religion amd Christianity interchangeable. Others have it, Christians don't own it or have exclusive rights to it, it's not Christian lingo but lingo that belongs to a broader community.
Or think of the Elton John song blessed. It's not explicitly tied to any religion but it's understood what he says with the line "you'll be blessesd."

Like I said, it's Christian Lingo where I come from and where I live now. Blessings." I hear it all the time from Christians.
