I always find it interesting the types of things that people consider "gifts from God".
For example: "We are blessed by God in Canada to have all this wonderful clean drinking water".
But, the thoughful person then asks themself. Why would God bless this country with clean drinking water and yet give another countries disease infested refuse potty water to feed to their children till they end up getting sick and dying?
For every blessing that you think God has given you, there is another person (who is logically as diserving as you of the same blessing) yet is left without.
Most people create an image of God in their mind which is not entirely logical. God, you see, is a neural construct by some indivudals to believe that there is something or someone responsible for the good things. Perhaps it makes them feel in control of their lives.
