God Helps Those Who Help Themselves

[RKthrilla]

I don't like this saying because if you are already helping yourself you won't need God to help you, basically what it means is that God takes credit for every good thing you do..

tl;dr God is an attention whore.

I always took it to mean God likes selfish assholes.

inb4 God don exits

Anyway, religion pisses me off. God(s) existing or not really doesn't fucking matter. If he wanted worship, he'd come down and demand it. I don't give a fuck if he wants us to believe in him of our own accord, unless we are equal to God, we can't understand him, so why should I trust human interpretation of God (aka religion).

I predict this will turn into a flamewar with many athiests calling christians dumb, and christians calling athiests dumb

[Frank-The-Hedgehog]

God takes the credit for every good thing that happens, and it is the god's will that the bad things happen...

Really, I just don't get religion the more I think about it.

So people who help themselves are using their inner will and power to do so, part of which would belong to God, or would be a less powerful replica of God's power.

Finally, someone who knows their shit. :D

It means he'll help you when you need it, but he wont do everything for you, he might save you from an accident, but he wont pay your rent, and whipe your ass.

This is Newgrounds. We're above all that!

Instead, everyone will talk about how religion is BS, until ngman comes around and trolls the fuck out of someone.

yeah pretty much if you love god, and have a soul, you're not on newgrounds anyways....

[MJOLNIRchief90]

This is a great damn saying. Can't you guys immagine all the small things that wouldn't have been done if somebody hadn't come up with this saying. 1000 plus years ago, this probably got a fair number of people to do shit they wouldn't have done otherwise.

Seriously? There's a mod here who trolls people based on their religion. We're not above anything.

My thoughts exactly. What I think the saying means is that if you expect god to help you without you putting in any effort, you fail, but if you try ur best at the problem, God will helpu out with luckor something.

But thats just my opinion, and no I'm not religious...at least, not very anyway! X)
