Trust vs. Mistrust

If you don’t trust God
You try to control others
But eventually find
That you can’t control those
Who trust in God
 
Terrified, you try to kill them
Because, not knowing God
You foolishly expect them to kill you
But in the end, your murderous aggression always backfires
Because homicide is a form of suicide
 
As Mark Twain astutely observed
Many empires have come and gone–
See, variously
The Egyptians, Babylonians, Persians, Greeks, and Romans
And, adding to Twain’s list
The Nazis
 
Then ask yourself:
Are you sure you want to do this?
