People will take credit for their good actions and responsibility for the bad ones.sarniaskeptichttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02183125250166884307noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1726306875167162020.post-42819479067944291862009-01-03T01:54:00.000-05:002009-01-03T01:54:00.000-05:00To me, this is relaled to the following human tend...To me, this is relaled to the following human tendency: If something good happens to us, it is because of our own talent, skill, intelligence, perseverance.... If something bad happens, it is because someone else was stupid, made us look bad, was jealous, took credit....<BR/><BR/>When something good happens humans give god the credit. But when something bad happens, it's still someone else's fault. <BR/><BR/>The plane crashed and one child survived. "It's a miracle. Praise the Lord." <BR/><BR/>They don't blame the deaths of the other 200 people onboard on god. That's the fault of the pilot, the plane manufacturer, the airline company, faulty maintenance... And if none of those work, you can blame it on people of a DIFFERENT religion: terrorists.C Woodshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13053858627632648020noreply@blogger.com
