Charm this cracks me up! I don't know if anyone else has commented on it (and I'm fairly new to the board) but I hate when people say this MAINLY because that reference in the bible is talking about temptation and really doesn't have anything to do with hardships/tribulation! I usually want to tell them to go back and read their bible again because they sound like an idiot! lol

[quote=Charm2017]WOW- great responses. It is reassuring that others (beside a cantankerous coot like myself) bristle at these inane remarks. I had not thought to include the actions of the medical profession which can be just as annoying but were posted here.

Even though I am religious, or perhaps because I am, another one that gets to me is: "Oh, God never gives us more than we can bear", as though my cancer was some Divine stress test. I do confess that references to Job are easier to take.

Let's keep them coming folks.
