Does anyone else feel irritated when deeply religious people connect everything with god? (lemmy.world)

For example, you put yourself through university by studying hard and working full time. Then someone says, you should thank god for giving you the strength. Like wtf do you mean, I busted my ass day in and day out but I'm supposed to thank god for it?

Bless you is a great example. I don't think most people say things like bless you or God gave you the strength to be literally religious, they're just a spiritual person's way of being polite.

    I assume most folks using that expression are not using it in a deep spiritual manner, so it probably does. Saying it also usually makes people feel at least a smidge better after venting those feelings, so you may inadvertently also be a little more blessed. ๐Ÿ˜‡
