I'm laughing at religious hypocrisy and nothing else.

...why is it hypocritical to give thanks to God in all things ?

Because they pick and choose when God has a hand in something to suit their cause. They also will thank God for keeping someone from dying and in the next breath thank him allowing someone to die. Even if they lived a torturous existence up until that point. It's hypocritical and annoying.

How is it hypocritical to think God can use seemingly bad things positively, or negatively?

...the correct teaching from the Bible is that we give thanks to God in all things , in all circumstances . That you find it annoying is irrelevant to the teaching .

There's nothing seemingly bad about dying of starvation. Sorry.

What's your point? It's not like I'm denying what Christians are taught or how they feel, I just stated my opinion about it. Just like you do about other teachings or worldviews on this forum.

...you claimed we pick and choose which is incorrect . We are taught to give thanks to God in all things and in all circumstances .

Starving to death is inherently bad but what you fail to see is God's plan of making suffering work in favor of the overall outcome.

How do you know one child starving to death won't be the gateway to saving millions and millions of other children from starving to death?

Stupid god then... What's the point of creating suffering just so others can benefit? All he has to do is eliminate suffering.

btw, we can see what you and others call his "idea". It's just not a good one.



"Thank you for giving all of those starving kids in Africa aids." ...?

Also, could you please tell me why humility is the key to "seeing god"?
