for some reason people who win awards think that they're that freaking special to where they think god wanted them to win(in regards to some questions I posted earlier about a "dream" I had I was bull$#!tting it to make a point which only a few people got). but anyway, they think its okay to think god chose them.
however if somebody doesnt win and they blame god then its not okay. so by logic, if god is responsible for choosing the winner then isnt he also responsible for the people who lose?
frankly people need to stop thinking theyre that special or people shouldnt complain when people blame god for not winning an award. you cant have one, either you have both or none.

I could give you more reasons as to why thanking god for an award is illogical and unrealistic but then you'd just B!TC# that the question is too long as some of you will probably do by the time you're done reading this.

Think about it the other way around...
If someone thanks for god winning... that proves that he has cheated. A person has been helped by a supreme being to win the game, and they still allow it? On the contrary they don't allow drugs... why so?
Just shows that everyone deep down knows that god is fake.

People give praise to God for the blessings in their life. Believe it or not, sometimes when we 'don't' receive something, it can be a blessing also. The Apostle Paul was able to give praise to God in 'all' things, because he learned, by experience, that 'all things work together for the good, for those who love Him.

we live in a real world where our good and evil actions have direct consequences and indirect consequences upon us and those around us. God’s desire is that for all of our sakes we would obey him that it might be well with us [deuteronomy 5:29]. instead, what happens is that we choose our own way and then we blame God for not doing anything about it. such is the heart of sinful man

A little bit of bias perhaps by the self-deluding

God is the reason behind every prosperous person in the world. The person behind every single loss is the one who comes to STEAL, KILL, and DESTROY - the Devil.

because it is not okay to be foolish. would you want to hang out with someone that is ALWAYS doing foolish things? won't you just end up in a bad way? like in jail or beat up or dead or something like that?

i don't think God actually bothers about Julia Roberts winning the Oscars...
we thank God for the blessings. for the unfortunate events, we ask him for enlightenment.
