Paddy saying "People go to church to book a place in a"heaven" is completely unfair. You cannot lump all churchgoers into a group like that, completely unfair on those who go because they believe. If you'd said 'some' I would understand it.
I agree with varian that we mainly get back what we put in but also that life is far from fair. In many ways DH and I are far better off than our parents and achieving that has been very hard for many reasons. However, we have had much more bad stuff to deal with than they had. I think that how you deal with the tough times is under your control.
My oldest friend who I was at school with has had a very different life to me despite coming from a similar background. A friend who I met when we started our first job has had life very differently to me too. We are still friends despite having very different lives now.
