I know if our plane goes down in the andies I'd have to immediately hit you over the head with a rock, or you'd eat all the survivors.
I know that you can never be left in a position of responsibility for any other living thing.
I know that no plan which depends on you could be credibly expected to succeeed.

-just a sampling.
Okay......? No need to be so harsh. And so what if I think God favors me over other people? I have every reason to believe that. I have experienced many good things, that a lot of other people have never experienced. Is this not proof of God's favor? If God cared about those less fortunate than me, as much as He cares about me, then those "less fortunate" people, would not be less fortunate.
