For example, you put yourself through university by studying hard and working full time. Then someone says, you should thank god for giving you the strength. Like wtf do you mean, I busted my ass day in and day out but I’m supposed to thank god for it?
It is not as much irritated, but totally confused.
I don’t have much contact with religious people -but I had to listen the following story:
How god gave her a sign (after she prayed) and then she found the perfect picture frame in Goodwill…
I mean yeah for suuure.
God provided you with a picture frame, meanwhile 11 moths old Timmy died from brain cancer. Probably his parents’ prayers were not strong enough…
I find that deeply religious people completely ignore survivorship bias. They like to talk about people who prayed and got through an illness but they rarely mention the people who prayed and died.
Just a little too close to critical thinking… Which they need to be careful to avoid.
