Why do people thank God when good things happen but don't blame him for bad stuff

[maracho]

Reminds me of that comic who had a similar bit where he asked why athletes never say "Jesus made me drop the ball. He hates our team" haha. Also reminds me of another comic, I forget who, that asked the question "if both boxers pray before a fight, who does God pick then?"

So you think that they are just praying for a win?
99% of boxers are Christians and they usually ask God to have mercy on "them" and to watch over "them" and to let "His" will be done.

Thank God is just an expression dude, chill...

I have even heard some athiests say "thank God" and "God damnit"... just expressions.

devoted religious types swear by it, doe.
(god was looking out for us)

im always chill

head over heels is another ridiculously stupid saying

thank goodness is too long

we were doomed to fail because of Sin
but because of the Mercy of God we find ourselves blessed

everything thats good is a blessing from God
and anything thats bad is fruit of the sinful flesh
but we do thank God instead of blaming Him for anything negative or positive
coz only Him can turn negative to positive

and by the way Blaming is not a Christian characteristic

the word ''blame'' exists and has a definition.
who can we apply that word to when 14 out of 15 kids under the age of 10 drown on a fishing trip ???

or is that one life saved more important....
''thank god you survived !''
pfft

i truly believe in jesus and god. i also believe they just dont ''care''. its hard for them to ''care'' when they have all the answers and know how shlt ends.

The book of Job actually has the perfect answer to this thread

He had everything taken away from him and all his friends asking him to curse and blame God, even his wife.

Read the book of Job if u have not yet
