[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I mean, of course "blessed" is silly because there's no sky daddy up there handing out favors. But it's ok to be grateful. And it's ok to understand "blessed" as expressing gratitude.

Also, everything is a privilege. If you're not dead, you're privileged. Everyone alive has different combinations of privileges. Somewhere on earth, you have someone who is the least privileged human in existence - but they've got something - if only their life. [/quote]

[b]I mean, clearly sky daddy isn't handing out favors...to you.[/b][/quote]

No, to anybody. [b]The same logic that leads a person to believe there is a magical mystery man running everything is the logic that leads to people taking horse dewormer to treat COVID instead of a vaccine created for that purpose by scientists in a lab.[/b] Magical thinking either way. I love that religion helps people through their day, inspires them to do good in the world, and has led to all kinds of great art and literature and some other wonderful things. But it's absolutely not a true description of reality. [/quote]

You've connected sky daddy to dewormer. If you bring up Nazis we will have a Bingo.[/quote]

Nice deflection. But magical thinking is magical thinking. [/quote]

I was being sarcastic. But it's hilarious that you took the time to make a heartfelt reply. Everybody gets worked up about sky daddy.[/quote]
