We are not arrogant about it, it just is an everyday life ...thing. If I have good credit, I don't skip down the street thanking a god. lol I did it. No one else.
But, religious people will praise a god for what they themselves are accomplishing.
They sure do in my family. "God was good, everyone got home safely."
Do they think they can train god by praise? Of course you know what they say when He isn't so 'good':
God called him home to be with Him.
God works in strange and wonderful ways.
God tests us but He never gives us more than we can handle.
These really are all pretty lame.
Guess he had his hands full on 9/11 and just couldn't get around to saving all those innocent lives. Oh wait...that occurrence had to do with evil men's free will ...
Is God a baby and he needs to be pacified? lol
