The Creator must love irony.

It's not irony, it's obedience! He and his group decided to worship idols and give thanks to idols, rather than to God.

3. Thou shalt have no other gods before me.
4. Thou shalt not make unto thee any graven image, or any likeness of any thing that is in heaven above, or that is in the earth beneath, or that is in the water under the earth:
5. Thou shalt not bow down thyself to them, nor serve them: for I the LORD thy God am a jealous God, visiting the iniquity of the fathers upon the children unto the third and fourth generation of them that hate me:
6. And showing mercy unto thousands of them that love me, and keep my commandments.

Your ignorance and Anti-Catholic rantings are breathtaking.
Catholics do not worship idols you dolt.

It only took seven posts for a snake handler to arrive on the scene.

for I the LORD thy God am a jealous God, visiting the iniquity of the fathers upon the children unto the third and fourth generation of them that hate me:

That isn't the God I know and love. My God is infinitely forgiving and, because He is perfect, could not be guilty of such a petty human emotion as jealousy.

My first thought when I saw the title—he was giving thanks to someone other than the Lord.
