Yeah bitch god saved you but not the thousands of children starving to death or people murdered or other people who died from cancer or heart disease or drunk drivers or just general blood loss.
You selfish, ignorant, narcissist.
Yeah! Fuck you for having faith in something that makes dealing with a really fucked up situation easier on you, you ignorant cunt!
Actually, yeah. Having faith in the idea god is totally on your side and not on the side of the dirty brown people is bullshit.
I think your mofos read waaaaaay too much in the FB status of someone who's just happy to still be alive. It makes you come off as gigantic assholes and sourpusses.

You're right.
How does that apply here?
"God saved me personally but not the thousands of others of people who suffer everyday!"
That's how.
The woman didn't say that though. Those two things aren't mutually exclusive. I think you're putting words in her mouth.
In fact, if you want to run wild with interpretations pulled straight from anal cavities, I think she now has seen the glory of her faith and wants to spread that by helping those less fortunate!

Seriously, the only remotely negative thought I got out of that status was "Well it was kind of the doctors who saved you."

And then I felt kind of like a goose.
I don't think that is a really goosey thing to say or think, but at the same time I realize that religious faith can help someone get through things.
And also the doctors themselves probably said the same thing, I would bet money on it.
Maaan I was supposed to go to the gym yesterday but my cat puked on my bed, so I had to deal with that instead unless I wanted to sleep in cat puke. Fucking cats are assholes.

I'm of the opinion that the idea the people who thank god for their recovery don't also realize the doctors did the work is a pretty common strawman used for LOLFaith purposes.

Interesting. I don't see that written anywhere on that image.
Maybe I'm just jealous because god saved her and not my mother who wasted away and died of cancer because god decided not to perform miracles for her?
fun exercise: Try asking a christian why god let her die like that and watch them squirm trying to avoid the "her faith wasn't strong enough" or "she's a sinner"
if someone actually says one of those my respect for them would actually grow

Well I mean of course it was the doctors who saved her, but it probably helps her to think that it was an act of god. Taking that away from someone feels like a shitty thing to do.

I don't think it is a strawman at all; but then again I grew up surrounded by all the LOLfaith stereotypes.
Like I said, my fiancee's astronomy teacher in high school didn't believe the big bang was real.

That's not what someone who would answer that question believes, though (necessarily).
Often it's, "God took her because her work for him here was done".
Which I'll grant is a bit tough to believe if you don't also have the faith that comes with that belief... but to assume that anyone who believes in god is also a spiteful person who deep down thinks people die young because their faith wasn't strong enough is a bit of a stretch in the majority of cases.

All I'm saying is that it's her fault - none of this [chat] negativity would have happened if she had have died.

how is that spiteful?
I somehow feel that not believing that is just weaseling out of it
bad things do happen and god is responsible, you can't get around that fact unless you're saying god isn't omnipotent

Whenever some of you guys start bashing religion and faith, it doesn't even make me angry. Really it just makes me kinda go LOL angsty college students who think they know everything.
I know that is, or is dangerously close to being anti-intellectual, but lets face it, some people here are walking parodies.

OK, the girl too.

Well, is it really this woman's fault? It's okay to be angry about something like that, but to take it out on others is not.
More well rested, able to wake up easier
Cons to sleeping more than 5 hours in one night:
Didn't get to stay up and do things I wanted to do
My back aches like crazy
Overall, I don't know whether it was positive or negative
fun exercise: Try asking a christian why god let her die like that and watch them squirm trying to avoid the "her faith wasn't strong enough" or "she's a sinner"
if someone actually says one of those my respect for them would actually grow
They are actually.
Pretty basic tbh.

But it's not the case that people believe God doesn't let bad things happen.
I would initially go with the "But he let you get sick first, right? Sounds like mee grob to me."
