Thats very convenient. If someone helps themself they don't need help anyway, and how do we know any positive results were brought about by God when it could very possibly have been brought about by the person who helped themself.
And what about people who can't help themselves, such as profoundly disabled and retarded people. Are we to take it that God will not help them because they can't help themselves? That's not very Christian. In fact God doesn't seem to help retarded people much, that job is left for families and the state.
God helps those who help themselves............what a stupid thing to say. I'm not criticising "God", I'm criticising a religion that says stupid things.
