Why does God get the credit?

God gets credit because he is a produce of human minds and the vast majority thinks of it like a superhuman. Hence its written that god gets angry, etc. In terms of anger, god could come to my AM therapy. II have a good technician and I have made progress. So mabe we could sponsor eatchother.

Reflexive social conditioning has more to do with the behavior than any verse in any magic book. Acting out the confirming and identifying statements of faith inclusion is ubiquitous to every religion.

Even outliers like wiccans, with no official or traditional magic books, have their “blessed be’s“.

Why does god get the credit?


Simple.   When you strip away all the bullshit and deceit, all the opportunism and manipulation, all the determination to exploit and dominate,  all the fake charity and real callous cruelty, when everything that Christianity (or Islam, or whatever) has acquired down the years to further its own aggrandizement is stripped away, and we are left with but one single underlying attitude that made Christianity possible in the first place and allow it to blight humanity ever since.   What would that attitude be?


It is misanthropy.    It is the gnawing contempt for fellow men and flowing from that a conviction that mere men could not deserve full credit for his capabilities and achievements.

Every time when the non-existent and therefore do-nothing God is thanked,  deserving men in the quick who made the gratitude appropriate is needlessly slighted and insulted, all to further the underlying misanthropy of that contemptible cult.

all the fake charity

The Christian church near my house (here in Japan) has a charity program for homeless people. They give food coupons and tickets to the public baths. They coordinate with city and prefectural agencies to make sure that all health and assistance programs are being used. They do the paperwork, if necessary. Real people benefit. Nothing is asked in return. 

Would you argue that this charity is fake? If people give their time and money, and suffering is relieved, isn't it real?

What is your argument for saying that practical help for living people, in this world, is based on misanthropy? Wouldn't you have to see into the private motivations of people in a different hemisphere for you to reach this conclusion?

Charity with an ideology attached isn't charity

It mot certainly is and no we don't need mind reading to conclude this

I'm one of those people who uses facts, evidence, logical argument, etc. 

If you just say "Amen! Sing it brother!" this will not be persuasive.
