1. It's often directed toward a loved one who has died.
Kind of a "That was for you, Dad (or whomever)" moment.

2. No matter where they want to point, it's their business and none of mine.
I wouldn't want anyone telling me where I could point.

5. I don't mind...it's not "in-your-face" and it's a tiny gesture.

I think it's silly but it's not a big deal.

If they got down on their knees and started praying and making a big show about it, yeah then that would be overdoing it.

6. I'd rather they did that than grab their crotches, frankly.
Who cares about such trivial things? If a guy wan't to thank some deity in the sky, it doesn't pick my pocket or break my bones.

9. i have a tough time believing people feel good about themselves, ridiculing or being ugly
about people that make different choices in life.

10. Dear Seabeyond....
Sadly it happens everywhere in life. I'd rather it didn't, but it does and it will continue to do so.

The above cartoon was something I thought was humorous, nothing more, nothing less. It wasn't calling any particular person out, nor was it calling out any particular group.
