I didn't like it. Sorry... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In my opinion, all these "cutesy" things that are marketed with "God" as the selling point, like breath spray, trivialize the GOD who created us all and loved us enough to send HIS Son to die for us.

Amen Glory - I could not find the suitable words - but that is exactly what I mean when I said disrespectful. You said it much better. God Bless.

"Has it ever occurred to you that there may be a mysterious force ready to guide your life and bathe you in protective all-loving energy?" Sounds New Age to me.

Your eyes are much better than mine and I am glad you posted what it said. That just adds to the offensiveness to me. It does sound New Age. Mysterious force and God on the same label?

Joseph, no offense, but I would never look to breath freshner to restore my faith. Hitting your knees in prayer and delving into the Word would do it.
