Especially when one goes on about it, it implies that people who believe in a personal God are neurotic, and require a childish expedient to get through life. That is surely offensive to believers. As for "heebie jeebies", it is terribly dismissive of the practices alluded to, and implies that they are so patently offensive to a normal person (with oneself as the standard) that it is hard to conceive of what kind of deluded fool could engage in them. Now, I understand that one may be merely reporting one's feelings, without a more profound judgement, I am merely explaining how it might seem offensive.......
