"let us give thanks for the safety, health and life that we have where we live, because there are certainly those that are less fortunate."

Which is the same as Thanking God for killing someone else instead of oneself.

Personally, i never thank God for what he has given me in contrast to a relatively deprived other. Rather, i view my 'privilege' as a divine injunction to try a product before ensuring others' access to it. In other words, we are not an end in ourselves but a means via which our privileged ends are universalised.
