At what point does an expression like "Thank the Lord" become merely a figure of speech? -- nm - Qale May 21, 19:41 3

No. It's CNN's fault for trying to create the narrative, instead of just reporting it -- nm - con_carne May 21, 19:14 1
- It's an assumption that everyone in Oklahoma must be religious I bet -- nm - Bacon May 21, 19:15
It's worse. He asked, Do you thank the Lord. Well that is a dumb question for a reporter to ask. -- nm - Bacon May 21, 19:14 8
- This, indeed. If he'd just stopped with "You gotta thank God", but to follow it up with "Do you thank God?"! WTF? -- nm - Mop May 21, 20:20
- I know it's Oklahoma, but that's stupid. -- nm - loosi at home May 21, 19:19 4
  - I can see a local television reporter doing it but not CNN. It's just weird -- nm - Bacon May 21, 19:21 3
    - Why? 90% of the US believes in God. - ty97 May 21, 19:59 2
      - What does it have to do with anything? -- nm - Bacon May 21, 20:00 1
        
        She's a woman I guess he should have asked if she likes wearing high heels. -- nm - Bacon May 21, 20:01
- I would thank the Lord if he would stop sending fucking tornados to blow up my house, WOLF -- nm - Bacon May 21, 19:14 1
  - god did that cause that footballer turned gay -- nm - zeitgeist May 21, 19:18
