Why do people thank god for their food?

I am not religious, but I can say that if you do not understand the concept of faith, then you will never understand the concept of religion, and will probably come off as a bitter prick when discussing God.

 

Do I give a fuck that you like fairy tales? Do I care that to you it's sensical to work for everything you get, and then thank somebody else for "allowing you" to have that food?

I generally don't dislike you, but that's such a cop out from discussion. "I stated my opinion and that's all that matters". Get real.

 

Teeth are so complex and wonderful, how can you not believe in the tooth fairy?

 

I try my best.

 

LoL

 

Do you think we're retarded? We all know you went softer than Dairy Queen ice cream two years ago.

 

Strange, your girlfriend said otherwise.

 

She said five years. I told her it just felt like five years. Said it was like silly putty. I found that approrpriate; not only are you hung like jam, you also need to soak in and reflect someone else's jokes to be funny, much like plastering the funny pages on a gob of putty.

 

I was kidding.


We all know women hate you.

 

I do not thank god for my food before eating it, however, I can respect that some people do this.

 

it is God's fault that it's possible to starve

 

I thank God for my food. I thank HIM for many things I have been blessed with in my life.

Why knock someone for having a personal belief? If they are not shoving it down your throat why does anyone care?

Being thankful for something is an act of kindness. What is wrong with that?

 

yet they continue to procreate...

 

it's only right to thank the provider... depending on where you stand that's either God or the person that pays your paycheque.

One is an egotistical, meglamaniacal, slave driver who will make your very existance a living hell if you so much as step out of line

The other claims to have created the world and all it's bounty for us in seven days

Tough call.....

(jk, i am and do give thanks for grub, or at least feel thankful...but to nature, thanks direct to the source)

 

to be really appreaciative what makes sense is to thank the REAL provider: the food itself! the creature or spirit of the kind of creature and likewise plants and their nontangable nurturers.

we don't know anything about any of that. none of us do really.
well i grew up in a house where we didn't do any of that ritual
at least not the organized monotheism one.

but i think in our hearts its good to thank nature and the diversity of it
especialy for putting up with our ignorance in immagining the circular illogic of little green peices of paper to have anything to do with where anything REALLY comes from.

First of all the name is God. (With a capital G) secondly the food is his creation and third they are thanking the right source because you surely didn't make it.



Why is it that God is only there when you are diging but never there when you are shoveling? (Feel free to ask me what I mean.)

 

I just know you heard me.

 

You know, I've always wondered about this one. It just seems like a lame ritual that the fundies do without even thinking about it. Do they thank God when they purchace anything else besides food? No, but if God provided the food, he must have provided everything else.

 

I thank the the migrant workers for my food

 

i'm just happy i have something to eat
