I had a friend who followed that line of thought. I told her it was such a shame to beat yourself up over bad decisions but never take credit when she made good ones, even though she was responsible for both. I couldn’t convince her of course. A lifetime of brainwashing is hard to undo.

If you ignore god for two or three weeks you can always return to god and he is always there for you. Try doing that for two or three days in a real life situation with someone with whom you reside and see what happens. Which merely goes to show that only in the realm of the imagination such a relationship exists.

Another troll from the obstructionist republican religious fascists%!

Wrong place, wrong time!

God has a great job.... he can't F up. If things go well, he gets the credit. If things go badly, he gets a pass. Talk about job security.

Loki is just having fun.

Yes, unfortunately he does not tell anyone what it is nor does he treat anyone differently than another. I have been talking to dog and so it is.

" Sky Daddy, Plans for everyone," What a massive joke that is imo.
IF this El Supremo Sky Daddy was a Town Planner, Architect, etc, etc, he/she/it would have been on the Bread-line long ago.
Just take a good look at his/her/its record so far, 6,000+ years, according to the Goat-Herders Guide to the Galaxy, Chapter 1, page 1, verse 1, creates plants BEFORE creating sun and light for the plants to grow and thrive = S.N.A.F. U. #1, a bit further along, knows everything that is going to happen, creates Adam and Eve knowing full well they are curious and 'faulty', gets aggro because they eat the wrong bit of fruit ( even though he they would anyway) and gives them the boot from his special garden = SNAFU #2, by the time you reach the final chapter the tallies are Sky Daddy SNAFUs = tens of thousands, Victories/Wins, getting things right = Zero, Zilch, Nada, Sweet F**k all.
Yep ONE great Planner, NOT.

I say "thank the Gods". That usually confuses them.

the bad stuff is either "god has a plan for you" or "it's due to free will and is human caused." They are oblivious the the fact that those statements cancel each other out.

I think it would be rather fun to say "Praise Jesus" every time something bad happened to troll people who say this.
Example:
"Ew, this milk has gone off"
-"Praise Jesus"

They like to thank god when good happens, and blame the devil when it goes badly.

I heard one spiritual leader once say that when he did good, god all the credit but when he did bad, it was on him. I had been raised with that mentality, too, but hearing it said out loud like that left me wondering about it. I could never work out how that was okay.

It's a self-reinforcing delusion -- God is always right and merciful no matter what happens.The Holocaust happened but thank God even more people weren't murdered by the Nazis.

God is good.

The world's dimwits have a need to be comforted by their own delusions.

It's God's will. All prayers get answered, sometimes the answer is no. Nothing is impossible with God. What bullshit!

Yeah, a very, very bad plan.

It’s fantasy also, or rather, a delusion.
