"Who needs jackbooted government thugs if people comply willingly?"

Exactly.

Definitely sharing.

I have long wondered at the complexity, in some senses, with which the Bible portrays truth about God and man's place in creation. I like the image of a mature maple tree, branches shooting every which way, every single leaf unique--but every cell maple-tree. Through all the universe's diversity and complexity, not apparently despite them, God brings every particle of creation through history to the eventual conclusion He has intended all along. In passing understanding of all this to the only creatures we know capable of even conceiving of the universe, God gives not a listing of salient points to know or to believe, but uses stories, of complexity comparable to that of the maple tree, and individuals some of whom are as corrupt as the dead branches maple trees will have, to tell us what we need to know. Eliminate or ignore individuality? Not a chance. Thank you for bringing us this message, Michael Smith.
