If you have to think you're blessed to have things which others don't, think again. I'm far from religious, but it is my firm belief that if we are indeed blessed, it's with life and life alone. Everything beyond that is from our own determination and hard work. Things are not simply given to us by some magic man in the clouds in return for our worship. If you want something, work for it. If you need something, work harder for it. Don't lie in wait with your eyes closed, muttering words that only yourself will hear. That solves nothing.
Saying things like "I'm so blessed to have got this new job" in earnest, cause so many questions to come up. What about the other applicant(s) that really needed that job? What if one of the applicants were homeless? Maybe your god doesn't think they deserve it as much as you, even though their family is starving. If you truly are so blessed to have a one-up on so many other people, why not be humble and share than be a braggart and inform all of Facebookdom of how blessed thou art?
Gods don't have Facebook pages. They can't see how thankful you are when you post a status proclaiming it. And when I said 'share', I mean donate your own time and/or money directly to those in need, rather than throw money on a plate to pay the church's mortgage.
