Ever heard somebody thanking god for winning a race, or having some other thing happen where they were in danger but still alive? Got a good job. Money windfall. All sorts of things where people thank god for it.
It's always sounded a bit weird to me that. I mean do the people that have bad luck or lose a race, whatever, do they thank god for their misfortune as well? I just think it's crap, in a universe that's ruled by chance, to put some kind of godliness on certain random happenings makes no sense. It's simply the chance of the universe, no rhyme or reason. It's us that labels events good or bad. In the universe there's no good or bad put on anything, it just happens.
So this was interesting. A lady being interviewed on telly about the tornado devastation in Oklahoma, US. The interviewer says something about being blessed and alive, while her house is collapsed around her. She states she's an atheist. A bit awkward for the interviewer.
