WOTM: Stop Thanking God!
Growing up Mormon, we thanked God for everything. I remember wondering what "service men" were. That's what my parents used to call the folks fighting in Viet Nam.
All of this thanking God has to stop — for a host of reasons I outline in this video.
Thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you!!! Enjoy! B

I shouldn't have waited ... "This video is private" now. rats!
Try it again.
BINGO! I've been saying this for some time!
Where do you think I got it from? 😉
Effing brilliant . . . again! Haven't heard this argument before (and I have heard/read a lot).
Growing up behind the Zion curtain, I remember us being told we had a choice to be born or not?
Yeah, Mormonism is the only religion I know of that says we did make that choice. Joseph Smith was an obvious conman, but theologically speaking, he was kind of brilliant, and plugged a lot of holes.
The worst example is when someone "thanks" that psychopath for surviving unscathed in a mass shooting, a car wreck, a climate exacerbated flood, a tornado, a hurricane, an earthquake. For Gaia's sake, sheeple! A.C. Grayling aptly exposes such ridiculous, selfish gratitude in his essay "God and Disaster": https://www.skeptical-science.com/religion/god-disaster/
Wow, fabulous writer. Can't find the full essay though
