I do see however think that your comment is based mostly on what was not said, but your assumptions (and possibly misunderstandings).
I believe this is why you misunderstand the meme posted.
Oh, we understand what it's trying to say. It's just what it's saying is inane.

Salvation has nothing to do with how good we think we are; but rather, on our acknowledgement of our shortcomings, requesting, and accepting God's forgiveness. This in no way negates the fact that a proper response to God's grace is gratitude and obedience.
As I said, inane.
Indeed we owe god neither gratitude nor obedience. And my faults are not something to apologize for to some sky wizard to gain a place as his bottom bitch . But something to overcome for ourselves and that which we care about . And submission is for grade papers not men. and pride is only bad if you allow it to destroy other things you value
Seek strength, not to be greater than my brother, but to fight my greatest enemy -- myself.
