That is not a god. That is just simple minded douches thanking a being they created and wished was real, merely keeping him alive through utter reckless apologetic arguments when confronted with the reality that god does not exist.
I know what yall's point is. I still don't think it makes someone a douche to be grateful to a God they believe in. If you do, then you think nearly all of us people of faith are douches. Giving thanks and praise to God is extremely common and a big part of our faith. So if you think she was a douche for thanking God just be aware that you're also thinking almost all of us are douches as well. That's all.
"Of course, everyone will claim they respect someone who tries to speak the truth, but in reality, this is a rare quality. Most respect those who speak truths they agree with, and their respect for the speaking only extends as far as their realm of personal agreement. It is less common, almost to the point of becoming a saintly virtue, that someone truly respects and loves the truth seeker, even when their conclusions differ wildly."
