What bothers me is the abject hypocrisy of it.

I was irritated when my Catholic wife expected the kids to thank God for everything we had. What about dad's hard work, sacrifice, and prudent investing?

Yes. It bothers me that god only gets the good stuff. He is never to blame for child rape or cancer or the many other shitty things that happen. But oh, you got to work on time? You got the best parking spot? Thank god!

Not just Drs, but anthing good that happens in their lives is sent from above.

Right up there with posting "God will send you money this week if you re-post this".

Like I've talked to with someone else on a different thread.. Can't wait until a coach or player starts cursing God after they lose a game. "We played hard but that son of a bitch, God, still willed us to lose. Screw you, God, and your illegitimate son, Jesus!"

Typical double standards. I believe these kinds of attitudes prevent us from evolving as a species.

Oh, for Pete's sake! Wait a minute ... is God's name "Pete"?

It really denigrates the work and knowledge of doctors. People with that attitude should be sent to the car park to pray so the doctors can treat the rest of us.

It pisses me off how derogatorily doctors are often referred to by a lot of theists I know.

I think people mouth these platitudes just to fit in socially. If they really believed everything was "god's will" or under "god's" control, they wouldn't go to the hospital in the first place-just accept their sicknesses.

Used to bother the hell out of me, especially if I went out to the ER at 3 AM to do the saving

It depends on the doctor. lol joke. people are contradictory, all of us at some time because life is not black and white. a friend had a picture of a rainbow ending right at a statue of jesus and was talking miracle. like god shoves all the starving and people in agony screaming for mercy aside to send her miracle rainbows. absurd.

I thanked my doctor.

I get annoyed by it as well because I find it rather disrespectful to the practitioners who do all the damn work to hardly get acknowledged. Thank God all you want, I don't care if you do, but give those that actually tangibly DID something their due.

It was gods plan of course.They always kiss gods ass when things go their way ,and their god is always off the hook when things go wrong . This is classic religious brainwashing bullshit .

This is a classic one.

I’m bothered most when the people thank god and don’t even begin to realize that if science, specifically medical science hadn’t progressed to this point, the patient could very well be dead. To add irony, all science would be light years ahead of where it currently is if religions hadn’t interevened over the past 500 years. Even killing those whose discoveries conflicted with their non-factual doctrine.
