"Thank You God" By Repentant Atheist Tim Minchin (Concert Video) by Seun(m): 5:42pm On Feb 10, 2017 |
When Tim Minchin, an outspoken comedian, atheist and musician, asked his friend Sam for evidence of the existence of God, he was not prepared for a good answer. To the atheist's shame, Sam told him the story of his mom who was diagnosed with an irreversible eye condition which required surgery. She told her church about it, and after they prayed, she went back to the doctors and they could not find any evidence that she ever had the condition she was diagnosed of earlier. Tim Minchin was really moved by Sam's testimony, so he wrote this song: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3yqGSwE7uNk (Read The Lyrics) 8 Likes 4 Shares |

Tim Minchin – Thank You God Lyrics I have an apology to make I'm afraid I've made a big mistake I turned my face away from you, Lord I was too blind to see the light I was too weak to feel Your might I closed my eyes; I couldn't see the truth, Lord But then like Saul on the Damascus road, You sent a messenger to me, and so Now I've have had the truth revealed to me Please forgive me all those things I said I'll no longer betray you, Lord I will pray to you instead And I will say thank you, thank you Thank you, God Thank you, thank you Thank you, God... Thank you, God, for fixing the cataracts of Sam's mum I had no idea, but it's suddenly so clear now I feel such a cynic, how could I have been so wrong? Thank you for displaying how praying works: A particular prayer in a particular church Thank you Sam for the chance to acknowledge this Omnipotent ophthalmologist Thank you, God, for fixing the cataracts of Sam's mum I didn't realize that it was so simple But you've shown a great example of just how it can be done You only need to pray in a particular spot To a particular version of a particular god, And if you pull that off without a hitch, He will fix one eye of one middle-class white bitch I know in the past my outlook has been limited I couldn't see examples of where life had been definitive But I can admit it when the evidence is clear, As clear as Sam's mum's new cornea (And that's extremely clear! ) Thank you, God, for fixing the cataracts of Sam's mum I have to admit that in the past I have been skeptical But Sam described this miracle and I am overcome! How fitting that the sighting of a sight-based intervention Should open my eyes to this exciting new dimension It's like someone put an eye chart up in front of me And the top five letters say: I C, G O D Thank you, Sam, for showing how my point of view has been so flawed I assumed there was no God at all but now I see that's cynical It's simply that his interests aren't particularly broad He's largely undiverted by the starving masses, Or the inequality between the various classes He gives out strictly limited passes, Redeemable for surgery or two-for-one glasses I feel so shocking for historically mocking Your interests are clearly confined to the ocular I bet given the chance, you'd eschew the divine And start a little business selling contacts online Bleep me Sam, what are the odds That of history's endless parade of gods That the God you just happened to be taught to believe in Is the actual God and he digs on healing, But not the AIDS-ridden African nations Nor the victims of the plague, nor the flood-addled Asians, But healthy, privately-insured Australians With common and curable lens degeneration The story of Sam's has but a single explanation: A surgical God who digs on magic operations No, it couldn't be mistaken attribution of causation Born of a coincidental temporal correlation Exacerbated by a general lack of education Vis-a-vis physics in Sam's parish congregation No it couldn't be that all these pious people are liars It couldn't be an artifact of confirmation bias A product of groupthink, A mass delusion, An Emperor's New Clothes-style fear of exclusion No, it's more likely to be an all-powerful magician Than the misdiagnosis of the initial condition, Or one of many cases of spontaneous remission, Or a record-keeping glitch by the local physician No, the only explanation for Sam's mum's seeing: They prayed to an all-knowing superbeing, To the omnipresent master of the universe, And he quite liked the sound of their muttered verse. So for a bit of a change from his usual stunt Of being a sexist, racist, murderous cunt He popped down to Dandenong and just like that Used his powers to heal the cataracts of Sam's mum Of Sam's mum Thank you God for fixing the cataracts of Sam's mum! I didn't realize that it was such a simple thing I feel such a dingaling, what ignorant scum! Now I understand a prayer can work: A particular prayer in a particular church In a particular style with a particular stuff And for particular problems that aren't particularly tough, And for particular people, preferably white And for particular senses, preferably sight A particular prayer in a particular spot To a particular version of a particular god And if you get that right, he just might Take a break from giving babies malaria And pop down to your local area And fix the cataracts of your mum! 13 Likes 1 Share |

niyihawking: Not only fsm, it's ABC. Anyway you don't need to bother about it because that God knows Himself, He knows me and He knows you and He sees all that goes on here. Not like the god you created out of your imagination, not knowing how powerful the mind is and how that god created can be real to only you. I'm talking about the God that knows everyone here by name and sees all we do both in secret and in public. That's my God Troublemaker and not ABC that I can create right now.

bennyann:We all experience misfortunes from time to time. It has little to do with God. My life today is challenging, but I'm luckier than many Christians. Mbkite: bennyann:If you really believe that declaring that something will happen makes it happen, you should declare something more important e.g the discovery of a drug that can cure every form of cancer in 2017, the eradication of malaria in 2017, or that Economists will take over the CBN in 2017. 18 Likes 4 Shares |

Seun: Dear Seun, I never meant misfortunes. I only meant God will take over you soon and you wouldn't be able to mock Him again. Of a truth you're luckier than many Christians. I only hope you'll be luckier where and when it matters most also.
Even if all these problems are solved, deadlier issues will rise up. Christians are aware of the signs of end time including you and there's no where in the Bible that states the earth will be perfect before the coming of Christ. Heaven and earth will pass away but His word will remain. It wouldn't stop some from having their way around such crises though but the world will never be perfect, in fact, it's expected to get worse as time goes on. So my dear Seun, stop trying God on that because His word is settled already. And if you don't know, you're extremely important and there's nothing wrong in trying God on yourself first. Stop thinking you are more loving and compassionate than God or you love the world than God does. 10 Likes |

Seun, Atheists & Other Religions. It is not on record that anyother God can heal the way Jesus does. Mohammed himself is not in heaven, as he himself said he does not know what will happen to him. Sura 46:9 "I am not something original among the messengers, NOR DO I KNOW WHAT WILL BE DONE WITH ME OR WITH YOU(MUSLIMS)". Jesus on the other hand went to heaven in the full view of everybody. Acts 1 (KJV) 9 And when he had spoken these things, while they beheld, he was taken up; and a cloud received him out of their sight. 10 And while they looked stedfastly toward heaven as he went up, behold, two men stood by them in white apparel; 11 Which also said, Ye men of Galilee, why stand ye gazing up into heaven? this same Jesus, which is taken up from you into heaven, shall so come in like manner as ye have seen him go into heaven. Now if Jesus went to heaven in the view of everybody and mohammed does not know his destination, then it means that Jesus is far superior. Not only that, only Jesus heals. So we all need to follow Jesus. Most crucially, Jesus lives and mohammed is dead. A dead man cannot help you, Jesus can because He is ALIVE 3 Likes 1 Share |
