Why is it that some people only CONSIDER THE POSSIBILITY of God when their life is completely crap?
Even people who've never shown an interest in God (or ridiculed others for it in the past) decide that now their life's really down the shitter, they might give God a go.

The second part of this is this and it's something I wonder about a lot. I reckon God gets a bit pissed off with all the "Please"s and the far smaller amount of thank yous.

If it were a MATE that'd done something for you, you'd thank them - and mean it - and they'd appreciate your thanks. And if it was your mate you wouldn't keep asking them for stuff all the time.

So, the second-to-bottom line is that I think that there's too much "God" and not enough "Mate", which leads up to my main point, which is: TAKE GOD TO THE PUB WITH YOU.
What the hell, it's a piece of piss to be a good person when you're in Church - But it takes a little more effort when you're on the booze. Besides, everyone likes seeing their mates having fun, and he's probably no exception...
