A "Showerthought" is a simple term used to describe the thoughts that pop into your head while you're doing everyday things like taking a shower, driving, or just daydreaming. A showerthought should offer a unique perspective on an ordinary part of life.

"God works in mysterious ways" basically means "this doesn't make any sense to me, but I'm gonna ignore it" (lemmings.world)

Side note, does it count as a shower thought when it was conceived while sitting on the toilet? Do we have toilet-sitting-thoughts communities?

Of course, that's anthropomorphizing God and projecting, but then that's 99% of religion, so...

We were made in His image, according to the 3 biggest religions. And most take that to mean that, other than the power he wields, he is like us.

Both should know exactly what will happen (especially the programmer)

Tell me you're not a programmer without saying you're not a programmer. 🤭

The three biggest religions are based on the same b.s. I'd count the statement as perpetuated by one text that got copied like homework.
