reply #2 then why acknowledge ppl who thank god, one might ask

ah well thank Yah that you have progressed to that point, i bet He is even proud
srsly tho, we imbue (endue? endow? wtf ever) Yah with "character" i think, we anthropomorphise, but you might contemplate no character at all, maybe; reject the god of believers, iow, the Olde White Guy, etc, w/o completely disallowing for A Force Greater than Self?

Ah yes, the old pray and give thanks to this Invisible Sky Daddy who by means of sheer MAGIC made this meal they are about to consume with relish appear out of nowhere on the table in front of them whilst elsewhere there ARE Children and Adults starving, Chrustian UN-logic at its very best.

Mostly because they have been conditioned to just obey and not to think.

Aren’t we all! The latest inanity I’ve seen by some friends on FB is saying they will give thanks to god when we get through this Covid pandemic. I presume that’s because they will assume that their prayers to keep them from catching it have been answered! Not a thought about the scientists, doctors and medical professionals who by their skill and use of scientific knowledge and expertise will have brought the disease under control. The lack of logic in their thought process is staggering.

I am so disgusted with people.
