Everybody has got their choice of coping mechanism in this sick and imperfect world..What I dont get is why unreligious people have a problem with how religious people choose to cope with life.....
I'm depressed, I smoke weed or go fvck a prostitute. Another person choose to go to church and pray....I need help, I take matters I to my hands and bend a few rules, another chose to pray for favour..

What right do I have to insult him and call him sick Just cos he ain't doing things my way....One can be unreligious and rational at the same time...Try it man..

tolugar:
Thank you Jesus

Lord am forever greatful for all the beautiful things you've done for me and my friends and family! Amen

If only You understood the true logic of life ....

Your assumptions are so narrow and subjective yet its sensible to some cos senses are abstractions of life conventions..

Everyone were given a heart and an independent brain not because the intentions were for mere fancy. God won't come down personally to interfere in issues. Humans are literally the ones running the earth and they'll all give account thereon. some choose to make the surrounding a living hell for other humans, some let greed rule over their sense of judgment, others with conscience and the knowledge that they ain't here for themself alone choose to ease things relative to their capacity for others.

Now all those in difficult situations are as a result of the actions of others, both those who induced those situations and those who are in positions to help out but shut their eyes off, cos they feel its no responsibility of theirs.

Again, we can't shut our mind to the fact that the world is been engulfed by forces (spiritual and the rest), people who have in-depth knowledge on how these forces operate can effect it to alter their situations at a given time (only if the necessary conditions are met).

Now I don't wanna talk about the role of religions including Christianity here.. what I wanna point out is that people can influence their situation whether spiritually or physically, whether it happened as a result of people actions or not. the issue here is that some ain't knowledgeable about the mystery of life. Thus they are subjected to whatever outcome from such situations.

Thanking God is a confirmation that we acknowledged the existence of a supreme Being, and with this knowledge we know He has made everything so perfect for us, but we threw them into turmoil with our greedy actions. Its up to us to play our role well on earth.

You are in your comfy condition so as to be able to help those in terrible conditions.. But No, We wait for God to come down and help even when God has equipped you enough for such services.
If God decides to come down and help, he will destroy us all cos we are the reason for others misfortunes (directly or indirectly). But He loves everyone one of Us. Irrespective of the weight of your crime/sins, they are the same to God and we are all guilty. reason why He can't just come down to destroy one set.

Instead We are the ones to effect changes as well as help those in difficult situations.

So its up to Us bro...

For what? The believe in Jesus caused the problems in the first place, Religion has ruined this earth.

Jesus is useless, Jesus couldn't provid food that hungry kid, the kid died, Jesus my butt!

And people are over there shouting thank you Jesus... The same Jesus that gave no Fucck about the others perishing.
One irony of life is that, same people shouting thank you Jesus today, Jesus won't save them in times of tragedy and some other lucky people will see their situation and shout thank you Jesus too.

realmindz:


I don't still see how this connects to people thanking God on the misfortunes of others,

It's only in this part of the world where pastors will raise prayers points that people are dead buried in the grave or people are in the hospitals and they should do thanksgiving forgetting that those in hospitals pray to the same God, or as if those who were involved in fatal accidents did not pray before leaving home ...

and it even gets more interesting, it is a cycle because those involved in tragic incidents today once thanked God for the misfortunes of others.

your prayers did not save you and cannot save you.

That's the point.

Bilsz:


You celebrate with the living, mourn the dead, sympathize with the afflicted (while helping to get them back on their heels in your own capability). Or should it rather be otherwise where you mourn the living and celebrate the death of others... Ok it kinda sounds like when people celebrate in this regard, they are indirectly thanking God for the afflictions of others. That to me depends on the context perceived by the judger.

Prayers cannot save you if You didn't meet the conditions to effect change... Maybe if science had developed a mechanism or equation to depict that prayer can induce a reaction.. then I'm certain most of U won't doubt. Rather, if it didn't work, You'lll go back to your equation and see what You didn't do right..

Can't you just pray for Boko Haram to end?
And why must one even pray to God to help stop Boko haram
Why must you pray to God to give you journey mercies..? If you have the power to stop accidents on the road, I'm sure u won't wait for your son to beg you before u help him stop an accident. You will do it either he prays to you or not...

So prayer is useless, the world works with facts and logic... If an atheist, Muslim, ogun worshipper, Buddhist etc jump from a storey building, they will all obey the law of gravity irrespective of their beliefs... That's how the world works.

Lucifersticlala:
This is the first step to religious conning.

First they make you emotional to deaden you logically, then they rip you off.

Usually through sermons that indicate how lucky you are to be alive so you can part with your coin.

This is the first atheist related post that actually got to me. U r making so much sense. Quickly saying "thank God no be me" is saying "thank God na dem".

God did not create puppets nor did He create dummies. If someone has decided to pick up arms to kill others, how's that Gods fault? If someone has decides to speed beyond limits and looses control and crashes, you come to blame God? If we were puppets without thinking faculties and without a sense for wrong or right, then that would have been a different discussion, cos then our decisions will not be within our control.

So everyone who DECIDES to follow Christ, Obey His words and obey and laws of the country, will of course suffer some degree of persecution from those who have refused to obey Christ. It's expected, and it doesn't mean God doesn't exist, nor does it mean God is silent about their condition. On the contrary, He's a merciful, hoping that those who go against Him will look at the examples of His children they have persecuted and perhaps turn a new leaf and be saved.

So you know, it's a beautiful thing for a child of God to die, cos eternal rest, where the troubles of earth cease to be awaits such one.. and that's the hope of all Christians. ETERNAL REST ON HEAVEN.

Then why would someone thank god for surviving an accident, since god was not involved in the first place.
