Actually, it's probably both. But on the topic, I hate the phrase too. It's kind of got a holier than thou vibe. But there is somewhere in the Bible when Jesus calls us to be reborn, so I think it's just something they adopt because they're trying to be obedient to Biblical instructions. Anyway, I know they're really annoying, but well, all I can suggest is you avoid them, ignore them, and laugh at them if it helps you feel better. But I feel it's not good for you to waste your energy feeling so cross about them. Can you forgive them for being annoying irritating pricks? I don't know. It might have merit. Smile, say thank you for caring, and run a mile!
