Jesus has nothing to do with it.

Heh, even the religious people know to keep their mouth shut when we eat here.

Thank the people who toiled for your food; the farmers who grew it, the laborers who processed it, the people who delivered it, etc. Those were the people who we thanked before we ate in elementary school, not some "western ghost" in a toga who obviously never did anything of benefit to us.

I'm amazed at the ignorance in this thread. God is thanked as the ultimate source of life and sustenance. My entire family and extended family is Catholic, yeah, we say a prayer in thanksgiving to God, but it's not like we forget the people who actually do the work. We know that Jesus didn't drive down to the supermarket, buy the food, and then cook everything. No, my mother and sister, who do the preparation, are thanked a dozen times over.

I don't think any of you are comfortable with the idea that people believe differently than you, otherwise you wouldn't have to mock every instance of someone adhering to a faith. It's pitiful actually.

Hell no, I'm not comfortable. Everybody should think the same as me or be subjected to some serious Class 2 behavioral modification.

You are doing the same thing. "Not comfortable with the idea that people believe differently than you, otherwise you wouldn't have to mock us."

And according to your good book, the non believers are all going to hell. So I guess you get what you wanted, that people should burn in hell for eternity for going against what you believe. Do you still think you're a good person, and we are the bad people? Wow.

I'm wondering how many trillions of people are burning in hell. Shame, many of them were born before Jesus. Poor souls.

Religion makes absolutely no sense what so ever. None of it. Not one part of any of them. Truthfully, if religion fulfills your life in some way, then I am glad for you. Just don't take me down with you in your Holy wars.

It's not ignorance if it happened. Your family may thank those who cooked dinner, but for many others out there their families will always thank God and no one else.

The one thing I can't stand with religion is the complete selfishness of each one of the religions. Every religion preaches about the consequences of not following their God and how we'll suffer eternally. In essence, the agnostics are the ones taking shots from religious people. They don't offer a proper justification to joining their religion, it's all about saving us from eternal damnation or how God will solve our problems if we believe in him every single time.

I for one do believe in a God/Spirit/Atom/Thing, but this God/Spirit/Atom/Thing did only one thing, and that is to cause the creation of the very first thing. This thing led to the Big Bang, the creation of Earth, Mars, Humans, Animals naturally, not through any supernatural interferences. If a real God did exist, I doubt he/she will want us to look for an easier way out of life.

I probably wouldn't go into a 'Praise Jesus' thread and get offended and insult people for praising Jesus, but that's just me.

A lot of people are not comfortable with the idea that people believe differently than them, and a lot of wars have taken place because of that.

If you think Thanksgiving is about being thankful to whoever made the food, you know nothing about Thanksgiving.

And just as Mogi67 made the point, it's pretty narrow-minded to assume that Christian Thanksgivers aren't appreciative and thankful towards those who directly prepared the food.

It's not ignorance if it happened. Your family may thank those who cooked dinner, but for many others out there their families will always thank God and no one else.

A statement backed up by absolutely nothing but God-fearers-are-stupid sentiment.

This is four pages of anti-Christian verbal masturbation.

Damn I love this forum, it's just so full of people who think they're better than others!

Oh, come on, it's at least 2 pages of Christians showing themselves to be intolerant and trying to put themselves on some kind of pedestal.

I'm on top wielding the almighty power of God, I dare any of you to knock me from my god given place!

Well put. My family is mostly Methodists with a smattering of Church of Christ/Baptists.

I agree with you. Unfortunately evangelical Christianity in the US has for the most part marketed the Christian faith as something that will freely and instantly take one's problems away completely. It offers a very cheap salvation...but Authentic Christianity doesn't offer an easy mode through life. If Christians really acted the way Christians were supposed to, selflessly, compassionately, with understanding, that would be awesome.

Christians have done a great job of ruining the credibility of their faith. There are still sincere people out there who are truly Christian and act like one should, but it's rare these days. I'm certainly not one of them.

You say what I said is backed up by absolutely nothing, yet you somehow think you can throw statements out there without any proof as well?

FYI, the OP is an example to back up my statement.
