       Your naive and infantile belief that God should do exactly what YOU think   
   he   
   should do in exactly the way YOU think he should do it at exactly the time YOU   
   think he should do it is clear evidence that YOU are not capable of a realistic   
   way of thinking about the position we all are in.
