"There But For the Grace of God"

I'm really in love with that phrase. I mean, not the god part because I'm a heretic that way, but there's something very poetic about it. And technically the whole saying is, "There but for the grace of god go I", but they truncated it to be an episode title for Stargate: SG-1, so I feel like I can truncate it again and just have: " There but for the grace." I don't know what it would mean exactly, but it sure does sound cool.

But it could also be interpreted as "If that loser believed in my god then all that shitty stuff wouldn't be happening to him/her"
