Well it's been a while since I found a jaw droopingly weird website. The last one was Holy Ghost Tees which I'm unhappy to report unfortunately still exists.
Today I found the super creepy Thank God I... site. It's a site looking for writers to tell their inspirational stories, which will eventually go in to "the most Inspirational & Influential book series on the planet!" Which all sounds pretty normal until you see what some of the creepy story titles that they want stories for. Here are a selected few of my favourites...

And none of them are made up (except for the last one).

I happen to be an author of this "Creepy" series. Gratitude isn't such a bad thing. Thankfulness for the experiences and the lessons we learn isn't "creepy." It's inspiring. I know the series hasn't launched yet, but once you hear our stories, I think you'll change your tune. Yes, the titles are abrupt and startling and the immediate response is to reject the title and to feel that someone is capitalizing on someone's tragedy, but each author has a genuine story in this series, each one of us has a truly amazing and unique story as I am sure you have one too. I am writing two stories, "Thank God My Father Died" and "Thank God I Was Adopted" ...because if it weren't for those two events in my life...I may not be alive today and I certainly wouldn't be the person I am today, a person which I am proud to be and have come to love. Life is difficult and it's good to know there are other people out there that have not only shared the same struggles, but they have found something beyond acceptance in their hearts, they have found true appreciation to God, or whatever they believe in for that experience and how it has helped them grow in love, in hope, in faith, in character...perhaps even to overcome other obstacles that they may have not realized they were facing at the time. It takes a lot of courage to be an author of your own story.
sorry, I don't condone your unseemly use of God as the author of your individual life experience of tragedy or just an outright lifestyle of sin.
You're thanking God that you had an abortion? Or, whatsoever you did that was an abomination in His sight? Come on. Making a profit on the tragedy of others, hmmm, just what Jesus had in mind when He died to pay the price for our redemption from a sinful lifestyle. We can't control a lot of lifes circumstances, but to be blatant and flippant about what you 'thank God' for is using His name in vain.
Tasteless humor and shock reality is so worldly, get a grip on what the devil meant for harm and what God turns around for good, but it's not supposed to profit you, and where will the proceeds go?
Just asking.
