Jesus Story

Sometimes when an NBA player makes a basket he thanks Jesus. Some stars get awards and say "This is because of Jesus!" or "Thank ya Jesus!" and sometimes "Jesus is my homeboy!". Haha, maybe not the last one. ;)

I found it rather funny in 2007 when Kathy Griffin accepted her Emmy.

 "A lot of people come up here and thank Jesus for this award. I want you to know that no one had less to do with this award than Jesus."

When something horrible happens somehow there is always a positive spin put on the situation in the name of Jesus. An example...

Sally was flying from New York to L.A. A group of terrorists took over the plane and flew it into the side of Mount Rushmore.  

How can there be anything positive about that? Well...

Jesus, thank you so much. George Washington's face wasn't damaged! 

Oh, that airplane was going to be thrown out at the end of the month anyway. Thank you Jesus that it wasn't a new plane! 

Jesus had nothing to do with you being freaking retarded. It's called "Blind Optimism" not "JESUS YOU ARE MY SAVIOR. OMGBBQ!" My point is, it gets extremely annoying and I'm tired of listening to it. 

You think I'm kidding? The amount of "Jesus thanking" that occurs on a daily bases is ridiculous.  When you pass a test or score a goal, that has nothing to do with anyone besides you. You're the one that worked hard to achieve your goal. NOT Jesus or anyone else.

If you had brain cancer and you woke up one morning miraculously cured, then thanking your god/savior/whoever makes sense. But, just because you find one positive thing in a horrible situation, doesn't mean Jesus had anything to do with it. 

This post had NOTHING to do with God, Jesus, Allah, Buddha, or your ass.
