Just a thought of mine....
Who do atheists thank on thanksgiving? Im serious. Do you guys sit around and thank each other for things from the past and good things in your life? Thank mom for the love and care she gave yo as a tot? Thank dad for the work ethic have instilled in you as a lad? Thank you boss for the nice raise you got last year? Thank your fellow workers for being such swell guys? Do atheists thank each other and pat each other on the back?
I just cant imagine not having an Almighty Father to thank. A Heavenly Father to thank for giving you that great mom and dad who love you; giving you the knowledge and intelligence to study in school to get that great job, and the patience to deal with what are invariably often trying co-workers. Just seems to me am Almighty and caring God is responsible for all the good things in our lives, and we should thank Him as the source, not humans as the source of goodness in our lives. Just doesnt seem right to thank luck, or evolution, or our own determination. If that were the case, mom and dad were simply propogating the species, ensuring the little tots survival to promote their genetic influence in the world--not loving us. Seems just so sterile and uncaring..
