No matter what happens with the car salesman, they should be thanking god at all times. Practically everyone only thanks him when things go right, and prays for things to get better, as things go wrong. If it's god's will that he loses his job, then they should be thanking god that he lost his job, because it's his will. His will is the greatest thing ever, in their opinion. So, if you're child gets ran over by a bus, don't forget to thank god, because he knows what's best for you.
Anti-intellectualism has been a constant thread winding its way through our political and cultural life, nurtured by the false notion that democracy means that 'my ignorance is just as good as your knowledge.' -Isaac Asimov-
