So you see no grace in anyone else, but you do see signs of grace in your life?

No. I places "blessed" in quotation marks, using the term but not taking the meaning seriously.

Just some free-floating good luck, eh?

Do you consider a poor child born in Brazilian ghettos, with a cleft palate, no father, living in poverty and exposed to violence as "punished" byt God, or just darn unlucky, since you obviously believe that being "blessed" is somehow God's doing and not sheer free-floating luck?

Is that not really Pharisaic—thanking God you are not like the tax collector in the back of the synagogue? I think it is.

You really need to read the Bible, Kosta. You’re exhibiting a petulance usually seen in high school sophomores when they first realize the entire world doesn’t live in the same suburb they do.
