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?

I'm not sure "irritated" is the right word. If God is the reason good things happen, I have to ask why THE FUCK my daughter got a brain tumor at age 10. If that was part of God's Great Plan then he's a FUCKING ASSHOLE, and next time you pray you can tell him that for me.

    Anything I say will seem reductive and hollow, but I'm truly sorry you've had to/are having to deal with this and I can't imagine the hardship. I wish you and your family nothing but the best.
