A friend stumbled upon this I-so-hope-it's-real website about a new book series meant to comfort the unfortunate: Thank God I…

Okay, I get what they're going for here: the trials and tribulations of life sometimes build character, and we should be grateful for everything that has happened to us, no matter how "bad" it might seem at the time.

That said, this site is a treasure trove of unintentional comedy (most of which I'd probably have to buy "Thank God I…Got Fired" if I pointed out). I mean, I get "Thank God I Was Suicidal", but "Thank God I AM Suicidal" is a bit of a stretch (along the lines of the title in the photo on the right.) And the conspicuous, yet explainable lack of a Thank God I Was/Am Retarded title leads me to believe every book in this series is, well, basically: Thank God I Am Retarded.

My suggestion is that if this series is a Chicken-Soup-esque hit (and you KNOW this series was just MADE for Oprah), they do a spinoff called "Thank God You…" I'd buy one for every friend on every birthday.

Explore the list. It's worth it. Really.

You don't need to pay some imbecile thousands of dollars to get your positive thinking on, you stupid ass-tards. Castagnini is preying on your insecurities and misfortune just as DeMartini did to him.

Dr demartini states the 4 main pillars of healing are Certainty and presence of conscious mind and Love and gratitude in the Heart !!

He only read like 28000 books so he may be wrong lol

I happen to be an author of this series. Gratitude isn't such a bad thing. It's inspiring. 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 truly amazing and courageous 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. By the way, you don't have to be religious to be a part of this series. I'm not, but I consider myself a spiritual person. God is whatever you want it to be…God is a generic term in this case based on the colloquialism.

"Thank God I'm An Atheist"

too obvious?

Somehow I can't imagine an instance in which I would willingly proclaim, "Thank God I was raped."

Ok. This is definitely real. Check out Thank God I creator John Castagnini's website: http://www.johncastagnini.com

I suggested a Thank God I that happened to me today.
