Normally when people "thank the lord" or mention any type of god it's always in a moment of desperation or despair. It's never mentioned in too many positive situations. People also try to push it on to people as well and this is kinda what happens.
Picture a virgin and every time she/he hears about sex it's always mentioned after something bad i.e (oh my god I almost killed myself last night but thanks for the good sex). And then added to this people are constantly telling this virgin they need to have sex.
First and foremost it shows a lack of self control and self empowerment that you need something or someone to help you live your life and thats not exactly appealing. Furthermore the situations that are related to this "god" are rarely ever good. When I observe preachers, they sell this deity with promises of getting you out of struggles and into better places.
Now I'm not trying to sway you if you are into any type of religion, but I will say that the marketing tool of pastors and preachers is one that you'll find on the back of a self help book.
Some people like myself don't need a crutch, we don't buy self help books so I don't mention the lord as much as you do because I take care of my business.
Now when I'm carrying out gods work then I'll mention him in conjunction with good and positive things never negative.
FOOD FOR THOUGHT!
