I grew up being told that the reason that we are so wealthy as a nation is because of God's blessings on us and if our culture moves away from what Evangelical Christianity declares is what God favors, that we will lose God's blessing and it will be evident by the loss of our prosperity.
Following that logic, does that mean that those poor people in Darfur really "sinned" against God and acted in such ungodly ways that God not only took away their prosperity, but he took their food away as well?
In the parable of the rich man and Lazarus in Luke 16:19-31, there is no indication that the rich man's wealth resulted from God's favor. There was displeasure from Father Abraham that the rich man was so unaware of the needs around him.
