Well if god is the universe, I hardly see why we need to thank it. I could thank the tree in my back yard for doing what it does, but it would be doing what it does irrespective of what I do as long as I don't harm it. It doesn't care. I'm pretty sure the authors of the bible expected their god to be more than just the universe, since we're talking about theism. Not pantheism. The universe does not want converts. It will not reward or punish those in the afterlife depending on how much we thank it for existing.
This of course ignores all the other types of gods that people have talked about throughout history. It would be nice if we could figure out exactly what a god is, and what it can do, but since we haven't found one yet we can't really conclusively say what one is. Kind of like how you have different stories of what Vampires are, and what they can do, because it's a mythological creature that has yet to be produced and studied.
Why is a pantheist trying to push the bible on us anyway?
