They think they know better than God:)
How dare they try to interfere with His plan. God works in mysterious ways. Everything happens for a reason.
Well done. Eloquently shows the utter hypocrisy of many religiouses. It's only God's plan when it conveniently backs up their own view of what justice or fairness is. The same people probably look up to those who make their money in the stock market because that what Jesus wanted when he put capitalism in the Constitution.
The view that God favors his Elect economically is the economic consequence of Calvinism. The good side is that where opportunity exists Calvinism supports thrift, toil, self-restraint, and enterprise essential to the formation of capital that underpins growing prosperity. The bad side is that it blames the victim when opportunity does not exist or when opportunity is denied.
I find it hard to believe that God blesses gangsters and curses sharecroppers.
