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?

    I was reading recently that thought as we know it, is a relatively recent development in humanity. Up until only a few hundred years ago, any ideas we came up with, were automatically attributed to the Gods. You didn’t come up with any ideas on your own, you wondered what to do, and God told you, and you did it.

    It was only a few hundred years ago that people began to realize that they were thinking up these ideas on their own, and God had nothing to do with it.

    Some people STILL think this way.
