Why does God get the credit?

[Amarok]

@Amarok Please spell out exactly how thanking all of the causes (in this case God you can fill in the blank with unicorn or whatever)either detracts from another person's thanks or negatively impacts a situation.

I already did that . 

Also, so if you believe your car is sitting in your driveway, and you go outside and it's not there, what happened to your fact then? It's a belief based on experience that you assume every day.

1. This isn't equal to the scientific fact of gravity .

2. No I'm afraid it's a fact my car isn't in my driveway because I don't own a car .

3. And I would never just assume my car is in my garage . I would withhold judgement until I could confirm it as known factors could make it  not so .Theft etc 

4. Lastly all it would do is alter the fact . It was a fact it was in my driveway at one point now it's a fact it's elsewhere

Acting on beliefs is a normal and secular response.

Based on evidence and with a degree of skepticism yes .

Beliefs that cultivate a sense of gratitude would then be of positive benefit.

Such beliefs are negative 

Why, because it acknowledges contributions and is beneficial in developing humility for the individual and pride/ownership of the contributors. The target of the gratitude is irrelevant and having multiple targets doesn't mean there's less gratitude for a contributor..

It does none of those things . The target does matter .Such delusions are worthless .
