Jesus Won Me the Lottery!
Do people ever blame god when things go wrong? I noticed recently that a lot of people thank god when they win something or something good happens to them. Do people blame god if they lose or something bad happens? I'm curious. Do you think that you'd go into a church in New Orleans tomorrow and find the title of the sermon to be, "Way to jack up our neighborhood god... ya big meanie!" Probably not. Hopefully they don't have church on fridays in New Orleans. Probably not mad at god churches anyway.
Are the people who are thanking god for helping them win something also thanking god for making the other people losers?
Here's a situation...
Madonna wins a grammy for Best Nationally Recognized Artist Who Has No Real Identity. She beats out Kanye West, Kid Rock, and the gay guy from American Idol. In her thanks for the paper weight speech she thanks Perry the Wonder Snail, Steve Martin and god. Is she saying god likes me? God likes Madonna and not the other contestants?
According to most major religions... god does hate gay people... so that explains the American Idol part. Kanye West thinks George Bush hates black people and since Bush and god are buddies... Bush probably asked god to not vote for the black guy. I don't know anything about Kid Rock... but god does... because he knows everything. Like Santa Claus. So Kid Rock must have done something wrong.
So god likes Madonna and rigs the grammys to prove a point or something.
I dunno.
It would seem to me that that old phrase "if god is on our side, who can stand against us?". I dunno. Darth Vader maybe? Sauron. He could. What about Tom Hanks? He can do anything.
I think the phrase should be changed to "if my version of god is on our side, everyone else and their crap gods are stupid and smelly and should just shut up and die and stuff".
I'm sure the Israelis and Palestinians would agree.
