And does anyone else have examples of this?
My father-in-law is really bad at this. Anytime we get rain or something and he doesn't want it to rain, he says it's because God is punishing him.
Example conversation:
"I wanted to paint today, but it's raining. God must not want me to paint."
Pretty much verbatim there. Apparently God cooked up rain specifically because one person wanted to paint, but he didn't want them to. I'm wondering just how much a god would care if someone decided to PAINT. Enough to send an entire storm through a large area? Seems pretty important.
I mean a lot of religious people tend to have a high opinion of themselves, because they think they're so special because God created them specifically. But this goes even further into the territory of ridiculous.

The whole tone of Church teaching in regard to woman is, to the last degree, contemptuous and degrading. - Elizabeth Cady Stanton
