That is the exact opposite of what he was trying to teach. I see that as irresponsible. People have to have to push blame off on someone else instead of taking personal responsibility for their own actions. I am poor because god wants me to be, I am fat because god wants to be I get tired of hearing things like this, get off your fat lazy ass an get a job, and while your at it quit eating dings dongs and twinkies, ever think of that.

Just think of it as making lemonade with the lemons you're dealt. Some people want to be thankful to God for what they have or don't have, while others don't at all.

Part of the reason people give him credit for "everything" is because they may believe everything does originate from God. Again, this is assuming the person professing that is a true Christian.
