"worldly success is God's reward for inner virtue"

That's typical of the self-serving thinking indulged in by ego-driven people in the social elite who know all about "religion" (at least their brand of it) and precious little about spirituality.

If there was a "God", he would, by definition, care about everything, Clinton. Why? Because he would be connected with everything. That's why it says in the Bible that "even the sparrow's fall is noted". Since everything emanates from God, God is involved in everything. It can't BE otherwise if God is what God is reputed to be in virtually every sacred tradition: omnisicent and omnipresent.

God is in you, Clinton! ;-) Whaddya think about that?
