why does God get all the credit if good things happen but people if bad things happen
it's clearly just coincidence and luck and science

it could be said that God intervenes in some of the extraordinarily good or unbelievable situations, whereas the rest of the time he watches. I've been party to a number of unbelievable situations myself
|
| |
This seriously just made my week... hell yeah, Chi!
|
| |
great
|

Altmer, your right on the mark there! Strange that eh?
There is only two possible answers; 1) God is a sick fuck and doesnt care about those who worship him and enjoys watching suffering. 2) He doesnts exist.
Tbh, i'd be more worried if it was 1, thankfully its not.
Don't thank God for this, thank medical SCIENCE and consideration of caring people, god had nothing to do with this.
Stay strong Chi!

amen dude.
This is good news!
|

^ Agreed. Thank science, and all the kind doctors, family members, friends, fans and others who helped him or wished him goodwill.

| |
This is good to hear.

It was by the Grace of God that these three individuals happened to be traveling on the road
You might as well be thanking the boogy man, Santa Claus, and the Easter Bunny as well.

awesome news
|
| |
Good to hear.
|

Somehow, as soon as I read those three words, I knew people would make a big deal out of it. Doesn't matter whether you think it was divine intervention or coincidence and chance, just be happy the dude's alive and still breathing!
And for the record, I believe that God takes credit for everything; e.g., no one blames Job for the shit that happened to him.This Message Edited On 11.10.08

i was commenting more on the fact that usually people leave out God's influence on bad things when they mention him
i hate seeing that in such messages because it makes God seem like some really arrogant dick who can take credit for anything good but isn't responsible if you fuck up.
I'd rather people take the time to really think what happened and that what keeps you alive is your body, in the end, and that physical operations saved Chi. it's not like the doctors sat there and watched him recuperate and prayed lol, if that was the case doctors would be out of a job. i'd much rather thank my doctor for keeping my son/friend/whatever alive. that just makes a lot more sense than thanking some invisible grey dude with a beard up there nobody can even see.

shut the fuck up

That's not true, just as many people blame God when bad things happen to them.
I do agree that the doctors should get credit though, they're the ones who saved his life. But the situation DOES have to do with a lot of good luck, and whether you attribute that to chance or divine intervention depends on your perspective.
This is great news btw.This Message Edited On 11.10.08

Can't you guys just be happy for the guy and leave God, luck, Tom Cruise, Science, Morgan Freeman out of this.

Thank God! But the doctors are still keeping sedated to make sure he has a well recovery. He'll be playing his bass in no time!! Cheers!!
Can you guys imagine the ovation this man will get when they go on tour!! He will be the man of the hour for sure! The Deftones are going to tour with Slayer which is pretty cool.This Message Edited On 11.10.08

let's not focus on the fact that chi is recovering but that they said god in the article
|

Dude, stfu. People can have faith in whatever they want. At least the believe in something unlike you. Why can't you be respectful?
|
| |
people can have faith in whatever they want it doesn't make the concept any less obsolete!
but it's good he's recovering
|
| |
At least the believe in something unlike you.
This is always a really funny misconception to read or hear, Atheists who have a brain know that belief in scientific theory is just as valuable as the belief in an idol, if not more so, as it is backed by thousands of years of evidence.
|
| |
I myself don't really partake in any religion as I find scientific evidence a lot more meaningful and it just makes more sense, but its kinda offensive when people are saying, "wow they thanked God for Chi still being alive. lolololol, idiots."
I do think there is a God though... but so far religion hasn't been able to prove that.This Message Edited On 11.10.08

shut the **** up
|

I am so happy to hear that he's recovering
|

this is fantastic news and shouldn't be clouded by asses arguing about an unresolvable and indeterminable topic.
Stop arguing about God and celebrate this awesomeness, nerds
|

lulz @ religion discussion

can't just thank God for this but Jesus as well. He who was crucified, died, and was buried. On the third day He rose again, in fulfillment of the Scripture. He was born of the virgin Mary and became man.This Message Edited On 11.10.08

hey um guys it's not even the existence of God I'm contesting I'm contesting people thanking God for every fucking thing and the whole phrase becoming meaningless
|

this is good news, glad to hear he is doing ok

Thank science.

Oh god Altmer, look what we have stirred up!
|
| |
Awesome News!!! Hopefully sputnik can keep us posted on any further progress.
Praise Altmer!
Keep up the brilliant contributions. I'm sure you have an honorary philosophy degree on the way... From total dickhead university
|
| |
i dont see why they should thank science. The science kept his heart beating and lungs breathing (which is great, dotn get me wrong) but theres not a whole lot doctors can do to get the brain working again. SO it is a "miracle" in a sense that he's regaining his brain functions. although thew article is sort of misleading....
