Well, clever in what way I am not positive. I didn’t mean to exalt the Roosevelts. It’s a common metaphor used in various variation (e.g. the Bush thousand points of light).
Anyhow, I strongly urge the consideration that doom-mindedness is shortsighted given that God hasn’t been asked into the picture. Now once God has been asked, the short term may be that a chastisement is needed, but the character of God is that He is angry for a moment but His lovingkindness is forever. He will not sin against His own character.
Well, then, you were clever without realizing it.
Not sure what the rest of your comment has to do with FDR.
