"I would not make it without God."

[Kayenneh]

I have to agree with Chuck. Humility is also owning up if you fail, instead of saying the typical: "God works in mysterious ways".

[C Rod]

Humility defined culturaly is not being arrogant. This is what we like and what we do because we like culture or who is a part of culture.
Thank you farmer who cultivated my vegetables, thank you illegal mexican who picked them, thank you biologists for playing with their DNA, and thank you store for stocking and organizing all this fine produce we can feast upon, just sounds stupid. And i think they're supposed to thank God, you know for our daily bread, not Jesus. Humility is thanking him for what they believe he gave them through all there is. You can still thank the farmers and workers but its just silly, i doubt you do it.

[Anomalocaris]

The idiot thinks it is stupid to thank a fellow human being whose work brought him his undeserved substinance, yet think nothing of groveling publically before a crude figment of bronze age imagination as if accumulated knowledge and skill of humanity is as nothing compare to a words of a some unscrupulous goat fucking charlatans.

Christianity in a nut shell.

Do you go and find all these farmers and biologists and thank them before your meal or do you whisper it at the dinner table hoping you might prove something to your self?

Imagine you're god and you have to listen to a half-billion people thank him for their food three times a day - every single day for hundreds, if not thousands of years. Doing anything with that much repetition becomes so routine for a person that they certainly don't even mean it anymore. How insulted and annoyed your god must be every day.



Wait wait - let me guess, you're sincere every single time right?? Of course you are.


.... and god is real too. [/eyeroll]

They are monetarily compensated. No thanks required.

[C Rod]

I can say i forget half the time and are probably less sincere if it is for public purposes. But the times i do take to say it, to have it wonder across my mind or to have leave my lips, i think he would acknowledge it.

God is, essentially, a crutch for the weak. There is a reason that churchgoers are referred to as a "flock of sheep..."

If we did, at least we'd get a reply.

Is some 97% of humanity "weak"?

I'm unsure how you are measuring "strength" (weightlifting? ), but it is true that irreligious people are more prone to depression, suicide, anxiety, social maladjustment, impulsivity, and psychoticism.
