God vs. reality (check)

[joeactor]

You know what really chaps my ass?  When people thank god for other people's hard work.  Any time that I hear a weepy parent/child/spouse thank god for the "miracle" that a surgeon performed on their loved one, it makes my blood boil.

Yeah seriously! Like when my sister passed the RICA (a crazy hard exam you have to pass in order to be a teacher), me and my mom jumped up and down screaming "OMG you passed the test! Yay Sandra!!!" and my dad's response was "praise God!" when my sister was the one that worked her ass off, not God.

You sillies!  Don't you know?  With out the big "G" allowing and providing for them, they couldn't have done it!

Oh, wait... so how do Atheists ever do anything?  I guess the big "G" helps them too... so just forget about all the worship stuff, m'kay?

Bugs me too.  Can't stand when people use science to save a life, or design a building, then credit their imaginary friend instead.

Humanity is a fascinating species,

Can't stand when people use science to save a life, or design a building, then credit their imaginary friend instead.

Especially since they don't seem to blame him when things don't work out.  Everything good is attributed to god, everything bad is not.  Isn't this a politician's dream-come-true?  Hey, maybe god should run for president....
