I guess you consider me a douche then, because I would have said said something very similar. Praised God that my kid didn't die before the people got there, and then thanked the people for what they did.
You wanna finish the rest of my quote/reasoning?
You did this with the original quote as well. The words "and" and "or" are connecting clauses that are important for stringing several ideas together. Stopping reading after getting to a part you don't like and forgetting the rest isn't very honest.
For example, "and then thanked the people for what they did" changes the entire meaning of your statement, and excludes said statement from what I was talking about.
"There remain four irreducible objections to religious faith: that it wholly misrepresents the origins of man and the cosmos, that because of this original error it manages to combine the maximum servility with the maximum of solipsism, that it is both the result and the cause of dangerous sexual repression, and that it is ultimately grounded on wish-thinking." ~Christopher Hitchens, god is not Great
