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?

My mom showed me her list of answered prayers to prove prayer works. I looked at the list and it turns out I did most of that. If I'm doing all the work what do I need God for?

    HA! My X's family of batshit crazy and dirt poor Fundies used to brag about how Gawd met all their needs. No. Actually, they just harassed their family and church members until someone gave in just to shut them up.
