I know everyone has been through tough times, and then when everything gets better we dont even acknowledge that it was god's work! Well im here to tell you, it wasnt you that made it better, it was the man upstairs!!

That is so cool that you have such a positive attitude! Sounds like God is doing it for you!
I personally believe that we need the good and the bad. So I attribute all things to a higher power. Sometimes, you may think things are awful, but you needed that situation to grow or learn something!
Just another perspective. I hope things continue going well for you!

One time in Georgia a barge hit a railroad bridge and kinked the tracts, it was in the dead of night; and then a passenger train came through at 73 mph and derailed and plunged into the river, killing most and injuring the others.
Things must have been going okay for those people until that happened. Things were probably going okay for those people's loved ones until that dreadful night.
When things get better you acknowledge it was god's work, but when things suddenly go bad are you afraid to acknowledge it was god's work? God just wanted to let those people die, but you are afraid to say so, cause he might send you to hell.
I didn't know any of those people who died, or their loved ones; but it seems to me that people who priaise god when things are going good, these people are disgusting, yeah well excuse me.

Believer ..... remember the time when everything was going good, then the sky crashes and everything got worse by the day.... That was god.

ok, I used to be a believer and my life sucked rocks. I'm glad you feel that God is the reason your life is great, however, I don't appreciate you telling me I should believe in Him because of that. Let me have my own beliefs and you can keep yours. What if I told you I think that there should be gay marriage, and christians shouldn't condemn that. Well, there you go, and if that offends you, now you know how I feel when you go about writing things on public sites and telling people what they should believe.
Thank you.

I knew that you would get a whole bunch of hateful, nasty remarks. I just want to let you know that there are some here who do believe and have enough sense to know that God does answer prayers and I give God the glory!

Unless you have absolute proof it was god, me thinks you are lying.
Religious faith is a cop out and a slap in the face of all humanity. You can keep your faith. I'll take reality.

I must agree - why do we attribute all the ill in the world to man and then all the repairs to God? Couldn't it be that it was man and man who did both. Or God who did both. Or even God who did the wrong and man who fixed it?
We need to take responsibilty for what we do, both good and bad, and those who believe in God can thank him/her for the guidance and love, but don't forget that what you do has value, and you should take some pride in what you achieve, as well!

What if things didn't get better? What if you actually had to work for it and go through worse things just to get back to when your life was barely manageable? Are you saying that people don't have the power to do anything? We're just gods play dolls, I guess. If god loves us all, then why are some of our lives tragedies? Well... most of our lives.

This is not really a question; it's preaching! No thanks! Better people than you have tried and failed. You won't get anywhere "The man upstairs..."???? Is God a man now? Does he have the genitals of a man? How absurd!
