Or do you just dig right in, forgetting to thank the Lord Almighty for that food you are about to eat...

Sure i do.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Etiquette_in_Japan#Eating_and_drinking
Meals in Japan traditionally begin with the phrase itadakimasu (いただきます) (literally, "I humbly receive"). The phrase is similar to "bon appétit", or saying grace to give thanks before a meal. It is said to express gratitude for all who played a role in preparing, cultivating, ranching or hunting the food. This also acknowledges that living organisms have given their life to human beings as Dāna.[2][3] Upon finishing a meal, the Japanese also use the polite phrase Gochisosama-deshita (ごちそうさまでした Gochisōsama-deshita) (lit. Thank you for a good meal) or - more informal/simple - Gochisōsama. Gochisōsama is based on the religious belief where chisō (馳走;ちそう) means running with efforts (by riding a horse, thereby indicating expedience) to cater foods for the guest. It is then linguistically altered to express gratitude to the effort by adding go and sama as the form of teineigo (丁寧語).[4][5][6][7] To join one's hands in the namasté gesture while saying these words is good manners. (See also Mottainai as buddhist philosophy.)

At least you have manners, some people look at those who bow their heads and give a silent prayer of thanks as if they have 3 heads.

Who am I supposed to be thanking? Maybe lady luck....

See, that is why you don't make it further easily with all your skills.
Lack of respect. For yourself, for your food, for the people that worked hard to make the food available to you.
This idea can be put into nearly every every day content.

You should be thankful for the fact that most of the good things in your life are the product of blind luck. That is all most things are. You could have been born in a third world country and never had the opportunities you had; could have never met your wife and still be stuck in Germany, etc. All luck.
-
i think you can believe in a higher power but if you do all these rituals because its written in a book youre a retard.
only a moron thinks that "god" overhears prayers and such.
its btw good to sometimes realize how good you have it, you tend to focus on the negative things most of time.

Blind luck would be somehow related to blind faith, correct ;)

You most likely paid for your food with your own hard earned money. In most cases you're never given anything, you have to earn it unless you're a leaching slob. What is there to say thanks for? Maybe a good "go to hell" would be more fitting, considering how hypocritical your "god" is.
Even if you are given food it is certainly not god giving it to you, it's the hard work of other considerate people.

Maybe blessing the food, a a precaution for it not being poisoned? I know during Thanksgiving we always have a big prayer for the food that was prepared for us...my folks used to have evening prayer as well.

I'm on a steady diet of roadkill.
No one. I thank no one.

If you really believe this i feel very sorry for you.

Why not thank the poeple that MADE the food if you're gonna thank someone? ::)
-

Yes, I do that as well, BEFORE and AFTER the meal...

Thanking god would be pointless (for me) but maby I should call up the butchers? and the the farm where the meat came from? and thank them?
Oh snap thats right, when I PAY for my food, some of that money goes to them! So thats the "thank you". =)
do you thank god everytime you use tapwater?
-

That's what the japanese do. ;D

What happens if you grow the food yourself as well as raising your own livestock? Do I thank myself then? ???
-

Yes, because you also thank the food for feeding you. ;)
-
I just always thank whoever prepared the said meal. However, if I prepare my own food, then I'm not gonna thank meself...that'd be weird! WTF! I should let be known that me is agnostic. I, logically/rationally, won't be pressured by society to "choose" sides when there is unconclusive evidence on both sides. me aint no godamm sucker who falls victim to cultural bullying!
-
I don't my dad says this though before every meal.
Bless us O Lord as we sit together
Bless the food we eat today
Bless the hands that made the food
Bless us O Lord Amen.
Takes 10 secs.

Well, your ancestors were polythesistic and or pagans, so pray to the Sun God for helping your food grow, pray to the Rain God for giving the food water to grow...

I was giving a reason, you could pray to the Explanation God for giving you a reason and explanation---then smoke a good one in "his" honor.
-
To constantly having to thank and love someone that you ultimately fear is the definition of sadomasochism.

Im never gonna pray. I can Thank the ones that have helped me in life. Parents etc. Believe in Yourself instead and have "faith" in yourself. =)
who wrote the bible? someone need to track down his relatives? There has to be an author to a book that hundreds of millions of people follow? And even die for? and base their life on?
Anyone can believe in anything the want but thats the key BELIEVE not CLAIM that you know.

I often think of the yummy animal.

I just thank my mom, who needs a big negro cock.

Don't bother, it's just a gimmick that is so unfunny it makes "tallgerman" look like Eddie Murphy.

I/we say grace before almost every meal (unless I forget).

Swede do you think that the animals, plants, seeds etc. you eat (and smoke ;D ) come from animals/plants/etc. that have always existed? If not, what is your theory regarding from where these things come?

Ultimately they never popped into existence, it's always been there. At least that's the leading theory. Next.

Do you have a link to that theory (I don't know the name)? Did they exist in today's form or do you embrace a type of Macro Evolution?

That doesn't sound very "scientific" ;D

Well I was referring to what's known as the big bang theory, a singularity where all the matter sprung out from. The concept of time doesn't really apply to singularities. That's where matter is thought to have come from. Read "A Brief History of Time" by Stephen Hawkings for more details.
Now, evolution is not even disputable so I thought you were referring to the origins of matter. But maybe you were not?

Yes I was talking about the origins of matter and life. I think we talked in another thread w/YngieRhoads about something coming from nothing but that there is really no such thing as true "nothing" ...for instance, quantum vacuum = not nothing... where does the quantum vacuum come from?
I don't dispute Micro Evolution but I do dispute Macro Evolution. Do you have any links or explanations I could read regarding "proof" of Macro Evolution?

That's because you don't understand what the word "fear" means in the Bible.
Reverent Respect.

Luck determines some of the most important things in life. You are not religious; if it isn't a deity that gave you all the things you have, what then was it? Where we are born, the people we meet; all luck. It's undeniable. I do consider myself lucky in some respects but I know it is fortune I have to thank and not some god or gods.

Until you find the sole ancestor of both man and ape, the evolution of "man", not some bacteria, will always be disputed.
The big bang theory is also disputed because nothing has been proven that matter can exist by itself. Matter couldn't just appear. Where did it come from? If it was from a singularity, how did it form and from where did it come from? Hmmmm, sounds much like "where did God come from if he really exists?" Lets see some proof, not the opinions of a mute quadriplegic.
-
If you believe in God and he does not exist, you have lost nothing.
To not believe and him exist you have lost everything.
Each to their own though.

I do not believe through fear anyway.
I genuinely believe in him for a number of personal reasons.
Have you ever read about fatima Deicide? It is quite interesting. Similarly with Lourdes.

Lourdes makes me really sad; all those sick people filled with false hope, thinking there is something there that will help them. :-\

Hope keeps people alive. When you are at rock bottom at times all some people have is hope. I for one would not take hope away from someone who literally is all they have to live for.
Many ahve been cured at Lourdes. There are so many pair of crutches etc left at the pool where they were miraculously cured.

i go as far as saying "JESUS this is a good burger"

regarding your opinion. Why don't u and that dope Adonis PM each other and discuss. You guys seem to have all the answers so it could last a while. Morons. ::)

I don't know, you tell me since you claim to know with your faith. Let's hear it.

I could, but what would be the point? You probably read it all before and refuse to acknowledge it anyway. The information/science is readily available for the public, go seek it.
I've seen millions of threads like these explode into a hundred pages with people arguing around in circles and the discussion goes nowhere. I'm not up for that.

There's tons of evidence detailing the evolution of man and the man-like species. I don't necessarily see why it's of utmost importance for you to find the sole ancestor when the bigger picture is already there. For example just recently it was discovered that homo sapiens and neanderthals interbred at some point and we still carry a part of their genome, some of which gave us more brainpower. Pretty cool stuff.
The currently available evidence of evolution is more than enough to convince me that it is the best theory we've got and it explains nature to an astonishing degree. Shame that's not the case for you.
Matter didn't have to be created. As I said, the concept of time doesn't apply to singularities. There is no time in a singularity which means that you can't put a time frame on when it was created. It's always been there.
That's because you don't understand what the word "fear" means in the Bible.
Reverent Respect.
If a god did exist, especially the christian version, you would have everything to lose by not acknowledging him and his teachings. There's is no getting away from the fact that you do what you're told or suffer in eternity. And at the same time you're supposed to love and worship him. All sane humans are definitely afraid of that implied threat given that they have faith.
I'll ask the next child with bone cancer that I see to thank the lord for all that he has given to him/her.

Its pretty funny.
Evolution "theory" has pretty muche proved everything Except the "where did the first part of the first thing come from" and thats enough reason to still believe in "god" even though its proven how he evolved = No adam and eve.
but noooo fuck that lol

They worked hard for their paycheck and their own benefit. They don't give fuck all about the person eating it...
I love it when people try to romanticize human behavior.

This also acknowledges that living organisms have given their life to human beings as Dāna.
No living organism "gave" anything. They were murdered and eaten by the next level up in the food chain.
