It’s not necessarily that deep, there’s a lot of expressions. Sometimes you just say “thank god” and it’s just thanking your luck. Or at work if stuff goes wrong we say that “the gods of technology are mad at us” but it’s not a literal thing of course.
Yeah and I say stuff like that too. I’m talking like athletes and people specifically saying they did well because it’s what God wanted. Like how self centered is that? Yeah God wanted you to get third in a marathon but fuck all the people that die for no good reason.

Because lucid people are afraid to speak up about this, especially after Muhammad caricatures problems.
