God is angry enough, in fact, to bother to dig down to why someone might be opposing Him “in ignorance and unbelief.” And to do something about the situation even if it means temporarily blinding that someone.

I can’t say I am 100% sure, but I have a hunch. Because in a small sense I have been there and done that. Militant secularists like Charlie sometimes blame the concept of “religion” or “faith” in general for things that we know are due to the gross abuse of faith. And some of the grossest abusers are Islamic, using it to preach a graceless “God” who asks people “do you feel lucky punk?” We know this is a horrible mistake on their part. It is like blaming the mail for mail bombs, or blaming airplanes for 9/11. But how many Christians out of 100 can show the sort of love that St. Paul told the church in libertine Corinth was being extended by the Lord every minute, waiting to be reflected? Maybe if some of the Charlie people had met Christians like that they might have reconsidered what they were doing. We’ll never know on this mortal coil.

I've been thinking a lot lately about God's stupendous power and intelligence --- seen in everything He has created in this vast Universe of His, from the neutrino to the one of His neatest inventions, the golden-winged warbler which can hear tornadoes hundreds of miles away, to the great Quasars --- and I thought ---

He will bring that power and that intricate intelligence to bear to accomplish each person's salvation, if we will allow it. He is bringing all that power and intelligence to bear for our behalf, now as I am writing this. Very lost, marred souls can say "Remember me, Lord, when You come into Your kingdom" and the Lord will say, "I died for you. Take My hand. Come with Me."

There is hope.
