Joyce says. "But more important than that, we learned a priceless lesson: If you do what is right, God takes care of you."

This really bothers me, because it reflects a bias that is present in our culture: "Good things happen to good people and bad things happen to bad people." This is a real bias and studies have been done showing this. Therefore when bad things happen to other people there is an unfair (unless you agree with Joyce) bias toward thinking that they deserved it.

This may not be a true bias. Good and bad seem to hit everyone. Its just people take comfort in saying this.
