Four and Twenty+ Blackbirds: Banished Words/Phrases

Banished Words/Phrases

Epiphany greetings to one and all in the name of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ. Amen.
Every year Lake Superior State University publishes a list of words that need to be banished. The link to this list is http://www.lssu.edu/banished/current.php

I think this is a fun idea and I think we should do the same.
Here are a few words/phrases I would not mind seeing "banished" from use in the church.
"I am not religious I am spiritual"
"Heartfelt needs"
"But we are in love"
"I am a Lutheran I just don't believe what they do."
"I don't have to go to church on Sunday because God is everywhere."
"Jesus doesn't care which church you go to as long as you go to church."

I could go on and these are more phrases than words but it is open for all.
Have fun,
