| Topic | With so much inequity in the world why do people attribute success to god? |
| Zeus 05/29/17 1:11:13 AM #24: | chaosbowser posted... Doesn't even sound plausible to argue that it's because of your faith in said god. It's hard to believe there isn't a single person that shares your faith with equal if not more devotion that is much worse off than you. It confuses the hell out of me. That doesn't make any sense. Clench281 posted... it's narcissism. the only thing more narcissistic than saying "I deserve this" is to say "God decided I deserve this" Which is a bizarre interpretation based more on spite than anything. RCtheWSBC posted... people writing out essays attributing God to finishing their master degrees and getting an A on a paper, bitch shut the fuck up and just admit you're bragging on yourself It depends if you believe that all people are born equally intelligent, equally fit, equally capable, and equally motivated. If you do, lol. If you don't, clearly there are factors beyond their control -- which go behind being endowed with natural ability -- which are partly responsible for their success. Whether you blame it on random chance or a god, there's not much difference. chaosbowser posted... then why not just say luck? Because they believe in god? Technically speaking, it's really a matter of luck anyway. After all, the people who we are is largely a mix of genetics and environment. Or, if you're a hardcore believer, only a matter of genetics and environment. Excluding some crazy coincidence which looks like an act of a god or other higher entity, of course. However, on a more basic level, a believer could be thankful to their creator for their mere existence, unlike you ingrates who never offer me any thanks or praise. --- (\/)(\/)|-| In Zeus We Trust: All Others Pay Cash ...
