"Thank God" after the fact.
May 14, 2021 at 5:09 am
I really do get tired of this horrible logic. 

Someone has an "OH SHIT" moment, like avoiding death in an accident, or avoiding a murder, or even after a murder, the killer is caught. 

"Thank God" I survived the plane crash, but fuck all the people who died. 

"Thank God" I survived the mass shooting, and screw all those who died.

I don't understand the logic behind why one life is more imortant or less important. 

The harsh reality is that while everyone wants to live, ultimately there is no God helping humans are watching over us, or helping us. 

"They're in a better place" I really fucking hate that bad logic. If someone dies. by accident, or crime, or violence, and they move on to a utopia in the afterlife, then why are you bitching? If I had a friend or family member who won the lottery, I wouldn't blame the ticket seller. 

The truth is without the god crap or superstition, is nobody likes to die. There is no reason to concoct religion or superstition to explain why evolution drives life to continue.

You're cute when you have nothing positive to say.

Tons. The nasty shit is elective.
I am the Infantry. I am my country’s strength in war, her deterrent in peace. I am the heart of the fight… wherever, whenever. I carry America’s faith and honor against her enemies. I am the Queen of Battle. I am what my country expects me to be, the best trained Soldier in the world. In the race for victory, I am swift, determined, and courageous, armed with a fierce will to win. Never will I fail my country’s trust. Always I fight on…through the foe, to the objective, to triumph overall. If necessary, I will fight to my death. By my steadfast courage, I have won more than 200 years of freedom. I yield not to weakness, to hunger, to cowardice, to fatigue, to superior odds, For I am mentally tough, physically strong, and morally straight. I forsake not, my country, my mission, my comrades, my sacred duty. I am relentless. I am always there, now and forever. I AM THE INFANTRY! FOLLOW ME!

It's a saying. Some people say it with little thought behind it.

For someone who barely has a mastery of the language you sure do get your panties in a twist over how other people talk.

What exactly is negative about stating facts?

If any god were real, name any, pick one, then why all the fuss?

I can definitely get on board with that. For Christianity in particular, the concept and goal of achieving heaven makes this life pointless. It's essentially a death cult with a cognitive dissonance regarding their actual attachment to this life.

And I also agree, thanking God for what appears to be preferential treatment based on perceived blessings/rewards for good behavior, automatically condemns those who died/suffered as deserving that fate. Which is a shitty thing to think.

Thank god isn't a phrase that I even notice.

The "praise Jesus" and "God is so good" types are the ones that I know live on the Kool-Aid.
