I can only speak on behalf of the people of America that I've seen, which is too many of them. I don't actually know how it is in other parts of the world, so if you're not an American that I've seen, and I offended you, I'm not sorry, because odds are you fit the profile and I just can't say that I'm sure of it.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
To topic!
America's obsession with god is getting in the way of their ability to be grateful for the goodness of mankind.
They say things like:
"Jesus is so awesome."
"God is so good he saved my baby."
"Praise the lord for this reunion in our family."
"I just wanted to pray tonight and thank God for all of you wonderful people here tonight, this year has been great to us and people need to hear this. It isn't happy holiday's, it's Merry Christmas."
When will people realize most of the things they do are choices they've made because they wanted to or they had to?
God didn't save your baby, the doctor did, the one who went to school and studied for countless hours.
The lord didn't reunite your family, someone made a decision to be the bigger person and look past the past.
This last year is what it is because of what people have chosen to do with it, and yes, you're included in that group.
Just shut the fuck up and open your eyes, stop visualizing your imaginary friend and try to imagine things just as they are.
There, it's not so bad is it?
I know this post was pointless, but sometimes I just get so fucking frustrated.
I understand the need to believe in god but please, give the people who actually change things a little credit. I mean, they worked hard enough for it, didn't they?

I was masturbating as I read this post. It made my penis whimper and hid. I blamed Jesus. He came down from the heavens and said, "Don't blame me, boy! Just pop some viagra and ignore stupid fucking shitty fucking posts like this in the first place!"
Then he told me he was going to have your balls AND your vagina (you freak) roasted on a spit in hell.
So you've got THAT going for you.

This was the main point of my post. I was hoping that for just a minute, I could get someone who did believe, and maybe they'd think about it, and for just A MOMENT they'd realize "Oh hey, I've done that before (in relation to not noticing what another person has done for them)."
It isn't so much the thanks that is owed to another individual that bothers me, but the fact that his or her deed goes unnoticed. That is what pisses me off. (I'm not saying that nonbelievers do not do this, as they do. But I would say it is less prevalent). I'm not even asking a person to be that thankful, just to notice what the people around them do for each other sometimes. Try it out today, look around, it's somewhat inspiring. I don't see it everyday, but I see it enough.
As far as my beliefs go and how I feel about people who believe in god, I'm not saying to stop believing in god forever, which is why I clearly stated, "I understand the need to believe in god..."
I was hoping someone would be capable of conceiving the idea that maybe it is just "us people" and nothing more to it. I was hoping they might remember that next time they spurt out a "Thank God." Maybe they should say, "Thank Bauer."

If you do not believe in God, and the sacrifice that Jesus made for our salvation, then you can never experience the great things that God can bless you with.
But on Ubersite, as in America, you have the right to beleive or not.

Michelangelo's Sistine Chapel depiction of God imbuing Man with life is interesting to observe. The famous finger-touching painting so often abused in that 70's British TV series which shall remain nameless. The figure of God floats on a background shape filled with angels. The shape is that of a human brain, with pituitary gland, brain stem, even the surface folds are hinted at by the positons of the angels.
Man created God, Who in turn gave life to Man.

Your username isn't just big talk, is it?
The latest American Idol winner, Carrie Underwood, has a song called "Jesus Take the Wheel." The best thing about this song is that it isn't metaphorical in any way. It is, quite literally, about a woman who, on the verge of getting into a horrible car crash, throws her hands from the steering wheel and implores Jesus to do the driving for her.
The song makes me so depressed, and yet so sadistically happy at the same time. AS IF that's really a song. Unless Jesus is the name of Mexican hitchiker sitting in the passenger seat, that broad is so fucked.

This is an important topic - not a new topic, but an important one nevertheless.
With that in mind, this was cackhanded.

The only thing that annoys me as much as evangelists, are people who preach against Religion.
I just don't want to hear either side of the argument, so STFU, take a ride in the whambulance, and then -2 DIE.
Ooh, and I almost forgot, you've got AIDS!

It's as if people themselves don't feel responsible for the good/bad that have resulted from their actions, so they either praise/blame "God."
If something goes good, who is harmed by a little hallelujah to the Guy upstairs?
If something goes bad, what's wrong w/ a little "God Damnit?"
Just questions, not necessarily an arguement. If it makes you feel good, whatever.

I'm not a believer, I never have been really. And no, I don't believe I do everything on my own, that was my point, people are helping people and I've noticed a lot recently, in personal experience, that peole thank god and not the person who actually made the difference.

Sure, God didn't actually hit a home run for David Ortiz, or pen and sing a song that gets someone a record contract, or even disappear a car from the best parking spot in the lot just before you turned in to find a place to put your car.
Doesn't mean it's wrong to give a little thanks just the same.
Did Jesus get me a promotion?
Did Vishnu make sure that when I slipped on the ice I didn't crack my head open?
Was Ahura Mazda there when I got through that operation ok?
Of course not. But is it wrong to deny any of them credit?
If you're a believer, then you can't possibly think that you accomplish everything in your life entirely on your own.
Now, if you want to go the George Carlin "why don't they blame Jesus for things" route, such as "the good Lord made me drop the football," that's another thing entirely.
