(16,935 posts)When I read that in "Three Farmers on their Way to a Dance", by Richard Powers, years ago, I thought about it ever since. I have faith and I know people that don't believe in God of the Bible, will read this, Don't forget that the Bible is a storehouse of some of the earliest Western literature. It helped me to read the Bible as literature, not as religious information. Anyway, I imagine that God in His wisdom thought his human creation had enough sense to protect the fruit of their loins. But our innate sense of survival doesn't keep them safe from evil-not from bullies with guns, not bullies in the schools, not bullies in the churches.
If all humans can't understand that our survival as a species depends on unequivocally protecting our offspring, we are screwed.
