"In no way am I against God or the mention of "His Holy Name"
Hmmm... coulda fooled me.
"She said she would thank God."
Indeed, which is her prerogative.
"I didn't ask who would you thank did I?"
Who cares what you asked?
Nobody.
Get over it.
"I asked who would you tell first and why?"
Why do you put a question mark at the end of a declarative sentence?
"Anyway, if you're a religious person and believe that God is all-knowing then why would you have to tell/thank him anyway?"
Dallas already told you - Ephesians 5: 20.
"He'd already know because he did it."
Did what?
"Also, what makes you stand out from the millions of other devout hard-working Christians who play the lottery?"
A three foot beard.
Oh, and I'm told that I'm very dashing.
Why do you ask?
"You're thanking him for favoring you over everyone else who prayed for the same thing?"
Who said anything about praying for anything? Here's a clue ---------> only you.
We thank Him for everything.
If you don't like that, well, that's just too bad.
Ain't it?
"I thought he was supposed to be fair and just...?"
Just? Oh, He is. And you may rue the day you doubt it.
And I saw as it were a sea of glass mingled with fire: and them that had gotten the victory over the beast, and over his image, and over his mark, and over the number of his name, stand on the sea of glass, having the harps of God.
And they sing the song of Moses the servant of God, and the song of the Lamb, saying, Great and marvelous are thy works, Lord God Almighty: just and true are thy ways, thou King of Saints.
-Revelation 15: 2-3
"LET ME BE CLEAR HERE"
Oh, don't worry, you're exceedingly clear.
I can read you like a book.
"I'm looking for answers that have to do with physical beings that you can touch, smell, hear, and see."
You want to smell the answers? Does your computer have smell-o-vision?
Well ok, if you insist: Pfffffffffffffffffttttttt!!!
There, how was that?
"I don't want to step on any fragile toes by offending you or your beliefs."
Oh, don't worry about that even though it's a lie.
As much as you'd like Christians to be fragile and wish they were, don't worry, we're not fragile.
At all.
You can spout all your Christian-hating nonsense just like every other progenitor of your ilk that comes calling with the earth-shaking news that God doesn't fit your model so he doesn't exist.
"Maybe next time I'll be more specific in my original post."
That might be a good idea, numbnuts.
Have a nice day.
