>>>>>if S/He is responsible for one's own good fortune, (which if one thanks Him/Her one presumably believes,) as one sits down before a laden table, it follows that S/He is responsible to for ill fortune of those who will die of starvation in a gutter while one dines<<<<< You know, of course, that there are certain religions that believe this. Pre-destination, karma, etc. Well, I guess with respect to karma, you are responsible for your own misfortunes. I saw a T-shirt in the mall today, taking the phrase, "S* happens," and giving versions depending on religion. Not something I'd care to own, but it showed some original thought and insight. Catholics: "S* happens because you deserve it." Protestants: "If you work harder, s* wouldn't happen." Islam: "It is the will of Allah that s* happen. Hinduism: "This s* has happened before and it will happen again." Atheists: "S* doesn't happen." Rastafarians: "Let's smoke this s***."
