Lol, got somewhat offended by people cursing at God.
This is probably a shot between believers, and non-believers. About the existence of a divine being. I understand the argument, but it becomes idiotic when people misuse context to their
self-serving bias: the tendency to take credit for success and deny any responsibility for failure.It's this conventional culture on the emphasis of our personal happiness overrides everything logical and moral in our mind. We'll backstab, play politics, hurt people, do anything just to be at the top, where all the "happy" people are.
And it's dumb. Claiming credit for any good results, and finding fault with someone else when things arent desirable. Yes! I'm so achieving now because of all the hard work I put in, my practice, my talents. True, but are those the only reasons? There's still so much that goes beyond just our own efforts. Encouragement from friends and family, support they gave that indirectly spurred you. And even so, the untold sacrifices people make for us might have been the very deciding factor that lead to our current "success" who says it's all about you only.
Flip to the other side of the coin. Dam, I'm so screwed up because of my parents, because people hurt me, nobody wants me. It suddenly becomes like the whole world owes you. Except yourself. No, why wouldn't you put in the same effort to get out of it? No you can't? it's difficult? Then yea, it's just your own part of the deal you fail to meet. There's no reason to expect people to fulfill their bargain when you yourself have yet to put any decent effort before falling into self-pity again.
Dont be an ass really. If you're a non-believer, that make your words stick to it. I hate it most when non-believers scoff at the idea of the necessity of a God, yet in bad times, they curse at how a God would have allow such things happen. If you think there's no God, then in the bad, take it like it's your own doing like you would with the good. Don't just push the blame to a God that only exists for you to push the blame for all bad things that happen. By this you contradict yourself in your acknowledgement of the presence or absence of that divine being.
Why not praise God for every good thing, and reflect on what faults you might have overlooked when there's trouble. But of course it should be both praising and reflecting during BOTH the good and bad times (this goes out to fellow Christians)
And truthfully, such attitudes are despicable. In politically correct sense for both sides, thinking in such a manner shows that you place yourself above the possibility of the universal idea of a omnipresent omnipotent being. in simple words, you think you're greater than a god, or perhaps one itself. And whether or not one believes God exist or not, a pompous attitude like that is only doomed for failure. Irresponsibility.
