Why does God get the credit?

[Amarok]

1. After reviewing, you did not state anywhere I can see, that there is anything negative for any party by expressing the act of thankfulness.

Yes i did 

2. Your bullshit about withholding judgment is utter crap. It may be a lofty principal in your skeptical materialist world view, but it's not how most people live day to day. We can talk semantics and have metaphysical word salad competition or we could talk about reality. I thought it was the latter. You believe your chair is there when you go to sit, sometimes it's not. It's so common it's a shtick. Facts don't change. They are either expressed generally to meet a threshold, specific or superseded by new facts based on changes in the reality they're imposed in. I don't think we're aligning on what facts or beliefs are but I'm open to your definitions of them.

1. It isn't crap 

2. It has nothing to do with any particular metaphysics 

3. It's how I live and i'm far from alone 

4. I never assume there is a chair behind me I check because people always move my chairs and a fall at my age can be serious 

5. By facts i'm clearly expressing them in terms of understanding  

3. Yes you can act on beliefs. they can be grounded or delusional. They can be optimistic, realistic or skeptical. please refer to number one and give me a statement of how a belief in gratitude is negative. You clearly stated you hold that belief, so please cite me an example.

3 out of the four things you listed aren't groundings for facts .And yes I gave you a reason no examples required 

4. I'm not sure you really understand gratitude. It does all of those things and more. Worth is subjective, but have a read at the research and see if your last statement still holds water.

That's not research it's and my statement is solid
