still much, much luckier than other generations. You could've been the King of England or Persia and you would have died from a simple infection that today is cured with pennies.

Sure, but thanking God for modern medicine is insulting to hard-working researchers and clinicians everywhere.

Ummm...if you believe in God, the idea is that he is to be thanked because thanks to him the scientists etc...

But in reality, the phrase has lost a lot of its original meaning. Still we need to be thankful, while we may nt get the Saudi Prince medical care, we still get a lot better care than Kings got 100 or so years ago. If I had a time machine and a few neosporins I'd be the richest man in the world. Plots of land in the middle of London and Paris for saving the King's life.

I understand the reasoning, and it's still insulting. The people don't work any less hard if God exists.
