Who’s the stupidest person you know?
I can’t name just one.
It’s a multi-person tie.
All of them, characters in movies.
In a certain scene.
The scene where a powerful villain enters a room.
…by blowing a hole in the concrete wall with a fireball shot from his fingers.
He waves his hand, the earth shakes knocking everyone to their knees.
The guards fire guns.
Electricity arcs from the villain’s body, melting the bullets in midair.
Cue the stupidest person in the world.
He stands up indignantly.
Straightens his tie and says:
“How dare you! You’re not allowed to be in here! You must stop this immediately!”
Does that ever work?
The villain replies:
“My bad! Didn’t realize this was a restricted area! I’ll be on my way now.”
No.
What always happens to the stupid guy?
Always!
The villain vaporizes him.
I think about that when I grumble at God.
“How dare you allow this tragedy?”
“You’ve no right to be in here!”
“You must stop immediately!”
Then I straighten my tie.
And feel justified in my indignation.
…because God doesn’t vaporize me.

To quote loosely many great thinkers, we put God on trial for being God when things happen in this world we find upsetting.
But, when we cry,
“Its my right to live life as I choose!”, and set ourselves up as the highest moral authority, we don’t even hear what we are saying,
In our puny little voices shouting out, “i am god!”
