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?

What part of the world do you live in? Im in the northeast united states, and i bet i havent had a single week in my adult life go by without someone telling me to thank god or jesus... you cant drive 5 miles here without seeing a billboard about god or jesus...

Mid-Altantic region here. Every day I pass a billboard that says, “Shackled by lust? Jesus sets you free!”

Which does nothing but make me think, “I guess Jesus is into domming now.”
