BECAUSE . . .
Humans have an enormous capacity to compartmentalize, rationalize, shuck & jive; slip & slide; run & hide . . . for a time. They end up still reaping the horror shows they have sown . . . but the reaping has historically been sufficiently delayed that they delude themselves it will never come. Besides, they can handle anything in Mummy's lap nestled in her bosom. Surely Almighty God won't whack them THERE!
Or so the fantasy seems to go.
Yep. Absolutely.
