So no it is not illegal. Personally I think God wants us to be happy with all of the blessings he has blessed us with. Even bad or sad things that happen, there is always something to learn or gain. Sorry for mentioning my God but that is just me. Without him I could do nothing.
Please don't think you ever have to apologize for mentioning God, we owe him everything. If talking about God offends someone, they are the ones that really need to hear about Him. Christians have backed down so much to not 'offend' anyone. It offends me when we don't stand up for God. Look what He has done for us! God is love! He wants us all to have the 'abundant' life. Just sayin'
