and another thing, do you really need to hear your children saying “thank you” for everything you’ve done for them?

Another childish thought..

good day.

Do you believe that the acts of men are much better than acts of God? sorta. Just look around. The TV set, the aircon, the computer, the internet, it was all made by, “Man” and, not by a supreme being whom people believe into.

Good day.

I think that must be what it is, you and I have had different experiences.

I do not blame you at all for finding it odd for Christians to show no thanks to man and just God. I think it is not only odd, but also not very Christ like. Hopefully some of the Christians you are talking about will see your post and change their ways.

I think you are right in saying that it is more about family upbringing than religion. However, I’d still find it odd for members of a supposed ‘moral’ organization such as the Christian church to actually be mostly unthankful to man and just be thankful to god.

You may have a different experience and I envy you for that but honestly, the majority sees it otherwise.

heyo – with all that you have added to this conversation I will take the complete twit statement from you as a compliment.

Mike – First let me thank you for writing your post. I did enjoy reading it. I understand what you are trying to say, I just don’t agree with your conclusions. In your response to my comment you asked why I thought your parents didn’t teach you to thank people. The reason for my wrong assumption was because you wrote the following:

“Well because I always keep on thanking god for stuff like that and yet forgot to thank my mother for the tasteful meal that she made or my grandfather for the 1 peso he gave me so I can buy my candy. I forgot to thank my grandmother for being there when I was in trouble. I forgot to thank my classmates who helped me with stuff I didn’t understand in class. Actually, I forgot to thank so many people for the so many good things I had in life and yet I managed to thank a god that I don’t see and is high unlikely to exist.”

I’m sorry if I got it wrong. I did not mean to offend. After you corrected me about your parents teachings you go on to say:

“What I was pointing out to in this blog post is the mere fact that majority of Christians would thank god but neglect thanking the actual people who did the hard work.”

That is not the experience that I have had with Christians or Jews or Muslims or Hindus or Agnostics or Atheists.

Yes there are people who do not appreciate what other people do for them and do dot thank people. Those people were just raised wrong, it has nothing to do with there religion or lack of religion.

These are just my opinions and we all know what opinions are worth.
