Would that not imply that good things come of God?
...and yet all bad things are because of "free will?"
If I exercise my free will to work hard and get a promotion, I'm told to thank God.
If I exercise my free will to slack off and get fired, I'm told it was my own free will that brought the calamity.
You cant have it both ways. Either we should thank god for good and BLAME him for bad, or he has nothing to do with it and we have no need to thank him.
Correct? please support your opinion lol.

Thank yourself for your successes and spank yourself for your failures. You are the reason you are what you are today. You will be the reason why you are who you will become. No one else, other than you, will be responsible for how high or low you decide to go in life.
What supports this? Everything you do every day, each choice, each thought. You have the power to do what is right and wrong in each situation. Be mature enough to realize this.

The free will that humans have means that we may opt to focus on the negative or to focus on the positive. It may seem like some people have it easier than others, but some people make it rougher on themselves as a result of their attitudes and vice versa.
Being thankful for your blessings (whether you believe that they come from God or from the exercise of free will) encourages a spirit of joy. The spirit of joy which radiates out from you when you are grateful attracts more blessings. You should be thankful so that you will be blessed.

The Goddess might certainly be cooler than any Christian will admit--and that i are starting to be nekkid many situations to have fun Her reward. *wink* in my opinion i could particularly thank the Horned God than devil--he's, in spite of everything, to blame for the fertility of animals, and what are human beings yet yet another breed of animal? happy to be sure you're doing so properly.

Wrong. You see the world through one set of eyes and materials ones to boot. Your fixation on yourself in the here and now is going to be your downfall unless you change.
You have life in eternity for ever and ever or you have death through eternity. Life comes at no cost to you, but death comes with a heavy price tag. I ask you what is more important, the things of this world that are finite or the things that are yet to come that are infinite?

It works for me either way. Life is to precious for me to be a uptight individual.

You can choose to thank anyone you like, however I chose to give the glory to God

Exactly, you thank 'him' when something great occurs, but when something you didn't want happens, it is not 'his' fault, but yours- because 'he' cannot be wrong...psh
