Again I saw that under the sun the race is not to the swift, nor the battle to the strong, nor bread to the wise, nor riches to the intelligent, nor favor to the men of skill; but time and chance happen to them all. - Ecclesiastes 9:11 As Cranford Coulter noted when posting this link, Individualism, which is rampant in US culture, also infects many Christians and churches. It stands behind the view that poor people are poor only because of their individual choices and wealthy people are wealthy only because of their individual choices. This is a handy view for keeping poverty in place, as it blames the poor for their poverty and praises the wealthy for their wealth. Meanwhile, the structural causes of poverty are ignored, and all who are not poor are absolved of any responsibility to change those structural injustices.
