No.
God blesses those who help themselves.
Hatred, laziness, and corruption are what brings societies down.

In spite of all the fools who say otherwise, God's love is without discrimination.
"For God so loved the world, that He gave His only begotten Son, that WHOSOEVER believes in Him should not perish but have everlasting life."
"God doesn't want ANY to perish, but that ALL should come to repentance."
Where is the discrimination in these verses? Isn't it all in your own mind? Isn't it true that YOU are the one who is discriminating, then blaming God for YOUR sins?
additional note:
My apologies for the tone in my answer. It's just that every question that comes through here is by a skeptic who does not even want an answer or the truth, and I assumed that your question is an implication that you think He DOES discriminate. If this is so, then my answer stands.
If I sinned against you by assuming wrongly the worst, my sincere apology to you.

God loves everything He created. He doesn't discriminate, He evaluates and rationalizes. Some things need more love than others, though some people refuse to accept as much.

God loves us all equally. He never promised anyone an easy life. If we had a perfect life where would there be room for faith. His promises of a cup that runneth over does not apply to our life her on this earth, but our eternal life - or death depending on the choice we make. If you wonder why some seemingly evil people prosper. Remember what Christ said ," it is easier for a camel to enter through the eye of a needle than for a rich man to enter into heaven. Where do you want your rewards here or in heaven.

The Bible clearly declares that God is not a "respecter of persons" which means he does not discriminate based on superficial characteristics.
However, it also clearly states that God prefers those who's hearts are turned to him and that he rejects those who reject him.
Finally, however, it also says that God gives extensive grace to the person who is turned away from him, in desire for that person to repent.
The Bible clearly declares that the final analysis is not in this life, that is not in this "time/space". Yet, there is a day of reckonining in which God will judge the living and the dead.
In that day, it will be revealed for all to see, how God favors the meek and the humble. in the mean time, he gives a lot of grace to the arrogant and proud that they might repent.

God loves everyone equally. His Son died for all people, not just some people. Does he hate sinners or Buddhists or gays? NO! He hates the sin..and that they don't except the fact He made this huge sacrifice for them by giving His Son to die for our sins. But let any of them repent and they will be excepted into the family instantly. He loves us all and really wants everyone to be saved...but, alas, it is our choice. Make the wrong choice and He will hate the choice but still love the person.

Does he discriminate? No.
He will be slow to answer the prayers of those who know right from wrong, but are reluctant to follow his teachings and commandments. We all have different things to learn in this life and will be exposed to different experiences. Is this discrimination? No. It's just the nature of the world.

Of course He loves everyone equally! It's humans that seem to have a problem in that area. If God had human traits and flaws, He wouldn't be God.

from the deific plane, those of us on the sapient plane are but an ant farm. they think it's cute when we invoke them, and are happy to humor us, but they don't really pay us much attention otherwise until we've ascended. at which point, it's dog eat dog, so to speak. it's somewhat like the corporate world. when a god ascends, the lesser gods steal his desk supplies. the newly-ascended among them get all the old stuff. that's where the discrimination kicks in. the universe looks at it as deliberate karma, so she tolerates it.
