That's pretty sick. I know some people that say that, and it really makes me gag. I want to shake them and slap them like that one scene in airplane, and say "What is wrong with you?!"
The anorexic chick does have a point though. She would have probably still been fat if it wasn't for the anorexia.
It's absolutely ludicrous and desperate to thank God for doing absolutely nothing let alone causing you grief and agony!!! Thank you God, for creating such a sick, sad, miserable, fucked up, evil, cruel, agonizing world that people need to create an imaginary supernatural being to watch over them so they can sleep at night. Even though if some sick twisted monster broke in and raped, tortured, and slowly dismembered their entire family you would do absolutely nothing to intervene because you are fucking imaginary!!! And thanking God for doing nothing does absolutely nothing to make this world any better of a place to prevent more people from suffering in front of the great spectator, God. So in a vicious circle, even more people will need to resort to thanking this imaginary bastard to sleep at night.
And to think, various Christian groups have taken to thanking Bush, just like they thank God. They think Bush is really doing God's work on Earth. I can't deny that just like God, Bush has contributed to "creating such a sick, sad, miserable, fucked up, evil, cruel, agonizing world". Thank Bushit!
BTW, can we start calling God the "Great Spectator" now? Or I was thinking we could compress the pronoun she/he/it gender thing to just "Sheit" or perhaps just "Shit" for short... I wouldn't consider that insulting, as God is everywhere, even in your shit, no? Shitdamnit! This way, rather than degrading God, using that term will elevate Shit to godliness. When you take a dump, you're communing with God. It's actually an excellent meditation. Because if you can see God in your shit (as Gandhi did cleaning litrines), you'll be able to see SHIT everywhere!
Thank you God for all that you have given me for the hard times that make me stronger the tough questions to make me smarter the choices to make me wiser and most of all Than you GOD for blessing me with a child even when doctors said I could not have one to those who take it all lightly I thank GOD I dont have to deal with you daily
Hahaha. They splash all those "Thank God for [negative shitty event] " over and over again. Then near the end there's one that's " Thank God I'm a Virgin " Who knew that being a virgin was right up there with the tragedies of rape and death and conditions like anorexia and addiction!! I'm still chuckling. :1eye:
I don't have the capabilities on this computer to watch videos (Thanks, Mike!) so can someone please give me a summary about that video? I would greatly appreciate it! Peace and love
Clips of different people saying "Thank god I was raped, thank god my husband died, thank god I had cancer, aids, went bankrupt, was emotionally abused," etc. All this horrible stuff. The message is that gratitude is the key to everything and unconditional love or something, or that these events made these people who they are, and that makes them good events. Bad=good=act of god.
Wow. That is interesting. It proves my position that people give meaning to the events of their lives. In other words, how people PERCEIVE the events of their lives defines the meaning that they give these events. Some people perceive seemingly "bad" events as blessings, and based upon their religious beliefs, give it meaning. Personally, I would see getting raped as a result of my negative karma, which means that I made bad decisions which led up to the rape. I guess some people don't give themselves any credit for the decisions they make and call it "god's will." In reality, they do not take responsibility for their own actions. Peace and love
I think I'd take 'Thanking God' for being raped over, I got raped because of karma. One is turning a negative experience and making it positive the other sounds deadly close to ' I deserved it ' ...but I don't think that's how karma really works anyways.
Great points, hippie chick! It's all about taking responsibility for one's own actions, which Christians pretty much seem incapable of doing.
Yes, Karma is cause and effect. "I deserved to be raped" is the statement of a weak, sick individual with no self-esteem and probable suicide in her future. Now which would you rather?
