Ah, yes, the Bible on learning XYZ the right way. But I can only see such titles as suggesting the inner content is antithetical to communicating something clearly, concisely and in a way that doesn’t leave the learner with even more questions.

    This reminds me of when young atheists get upset at “Oh my God”. Like, yeah, we don’t believe in gods but the phrase has a meaning devoid of religion.

      I always tell them to stop saying “bye” because it’s a shortening of “goodbye,” which is a shortening of “god be with ye.”

      I’ve always been an atheist. Maybe that’s why saying “goodbye” or even “oh my god” doesn’t bother me.
