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?

He always gets the credit but never the blame.

Lol. Good point.

Of course, I suppose some are just quiet about it. It doesn't pay to share what we blame God for, too widely.

Edit: And I suppose it's eventually easier to let it go, than hold a grudge against a probably-not-there diety who is arguably either incompetent or didn't care enough to help.
