Welcome to Gaia! ::

I'm not thankful to anyone unless they have directly given me something to be thankful for. I thank my grandmother for giving me money for my education. I thank my father for putting a roof over my head for free. I thank my mother for consoling me in my time of need. The list goes on.

The fact that I have life is not something I need be thankful for. I have not lived my life to it's fullest extent, thus I don't know whether to be thankful for it or not. I am not thankful that I have not died, because I consistently wish I would die, I just don't have the balls to kill myself anymore. I am not thankful that I do not have a genetic defect, because in many cases, this is simply an accident of birth that no one has control over, thus no one is to blame or thank.

That's what I want to make a point about. When circumstance are out of anyone's control, there is no one to blame and no one to thank.

Not quite. the muslims and the jews fall under "He did" most pagans fall under a third category, "They did."
