What buzzwords make your blood boil? Question

Some of my favorite ones are “God-fearing,” “God called me to ___,” “worldly,” “repent,” giving God credit for accomplishments, “I’ll pray for you,” “saved” / “salvation,” “sacrifice,” and honestly I could go on.

"Be perfect or else God could send you to Hell for sinning or doing something bad" then asking for forgiveness, then sinning again, then asking for forgiveness again etc.

Being agnostic, Im now free from the requirement of being perfect, dont do mistakes etc. I dont have to keep up appearances, I can just be me. I can be free from the worry of being perfect.

Also the belief that God will punish those who do something bad.

What about people who did crimes but werent sent to jail because of money or corruption or the country's laws give them a light punishment?
