Act of faith is cause for this?!

Must have an LS1 in it.

Nice!

haha, y'all are going full retard in here.

What if I built the car?

Than you thank yourself if you like

I don't thank my dads ballsack or my mothers ovaries for every little thing I do. Also, god didn't accomplish whatever goal you just did.

Whatever floats your boat. If someone believes in a deity, should they not be allowed to that their God? If he wants to point at the sky, how is it hurting anyone else? If his religion instructs him to cut the head off of the nearest unbeliever every time he wins I could see the problem. But I don't get why non Christians see the need to beat and bash on Christians every time they acknowledge their God? If you don’t believe, good for you.

So do you give god the glory when a tornado rips through your town and kills your kids? Just wondering.

No, but apparently you thank him for sparing what little he did and bless him for not killing others...

Edit: I'm in no way condemning people for worshiping a religion of their choosing, or not worshiping at all.

Then "Jesus take the wheel"....

Personally (and in all seriousness) I would thank God for the fact that my wife and I lived, and pray for the strength to carry on without my child. Life on earth is not peaches and cream. It's going to suck a lot sometimes. But with my faith comes the comfort that there is more after this life, and God willing, I'd see her again in Heaven.

I don't normally take part in these discussions, but I just wanted to know why it rubbed you guys so raw when people thank their God for something?

Probably has something to do with Christianity being every Christians favorite subject. It would be like if I thought Plan 9 From Outer Space was the greatest movie ever made, and you didn't care. Yet every time we talked I had to find some idiotic way to bring it into the conversation, then cried persecution when you told me to shut the fuck up already.

It's pretty much in the name. Kind of like atheists find that as their favorite subject with a driving force that requires them to criticize any comment about a deity.

People can believe whatever made up nonsense they want.

It's not, but it was against the rules in this instance because some people can't control themselves.

It does.

If you're going to attribute all of the good things that happen to him, you must also attribute all the bad things as well. That's the crux of the argument that's being made here. Also, there's no reason to give him credit for things that he didn't do. You can use your birth as an example, god had nothing to do with that.

It wasn't an act of faith that caused the disqualification. It was an act of celebration. Next thread...

Could you not manage to just ignore them? I'm not trying to be argumentative here; I'm genuinely wondering because it seems to be the same few guys every time.

I am an atheist and I do not find this to be my driving force in life. I generally try to stay away from talking about religion, and I am especially not the first one to bring up the topic. Will I throw my 2 cents in if someone else brings up the subject? Probably. Sometimes I just prefer to not voice my opinion. The persecution, humiliation, and dehumanization that atheists undergo in society is a bit overwhelming for most folks, and sometimes for me, too, so most of the time I don't say anything about it.

I don't like talking about athiesm at all. It's rare that I even vaguely describe my stance on it beyond the basic obvious tennent. You know why? Because it doesn't matter, and I'm not interested in recruiting.

I didn't start this thread and nothing else is going on.
