You may think I'm kidding,
It's always easy to define common sense when it conforms to your own preferences.

I know some people who are deeply religiously offended by the phrase "The Lord my God". This stems from their belief in the zero-th commandment "Thou shall have no other Gods before me". Now I know the Trinity concept is supposed to say that Jesus (the Lord) and his father were one and the same, but then why obsess over this couple year period in God's whole many year reign? It is taken as hand waving to obscure the worship of the second (false) God. To make matters worse the second God in question is a zombie, the essence of the walking undead. This is considered high blasphemy and the work of the Devil.

I personally lump them all in with the stories of Atlantis, but this line of thought is not as uncommon as you might think. Even the most innocent religous statements in public can lead to distrust and resentment.
