WTP: “That said, I too am a bit bothered by using “Hashem loves you” as a slogan because it reminds me of other versions of this statement put out by other religions”
This could be the answer to what LB wrote earlier:
“It’s def possible that both are true. Honestly though I hear “G[o]d loves you” way more from people who aren’t Jewish and are typically Christian. Of course, Christianity is based off of Jewish teachings.”
The goyim took it from us. But it’s possible that once they started using it or overusing it or misusing it, Yidden were reluctant to use it as much. Which may or may not be a good thing. It might not have been something that was done deliberately or consciously – just an automatic reaction, perhaps.
