Every now and again I will try to give extra meaning to a sentence.
It was a juxtaposition of religion and our state run health service. It 
is the sort of thing that people who like English like, to do. I am sure 
most peoples do it. Another clue is the capitalisation. God <> god.

I like Irony as well, much more than sarcasm. The line about Churches 
and Hospitals was irony.

(Note: In the above sentences. Irony is capitalised thus personifying 
her. Which itself is a hidden meaning going back to before Christianity.)

I just get annoyed at the ones who open their mouths.

Only if you let it annoy you, surely?
I'm not being dismissive. I don't think that you should let nigglers get 
under your skin. It is a form of Juju that gives them a righteous feeling.
