God isn't sitting with them, helping them find a vein to shoot up. God isn't sitting in their circle, passing around a bottle so people who are already blitzed out of their minds can die in their sleep from alcohol poisoning. God isn't digging through the pockets of those who have passed out first, stealing whatever they have left after their binge on *whatever, that started the moment they got their (welfare, Social Security, native benefits, pension, whatever) check on the 1st. God isn't beating people down and forcing them to shoot up or drink up or steal or shoplift. Neither is God handing ME a sack of cash, or helping hold up my transmission, or fixing my broken foot, or healing my dimming eyesight. And he certainly isn't paying my mortgage. I've seen no receipt from him, taking credit for me completing school, living an honest life, or having a job and buying a home.

God didn't cause this, nor did his 'lack of grace'. *I* CHOSE not to go down the path these people chose.
