The trouble is...

If there were a God, I think it very unlikely
that he would have such an uneasy vanity 
as to be offended by those who doubt 
his existence. And He would not like to be
apple polished all the time! Imagine your
children singing praises of you every time
they think of you. Annoying, right?
"The trouble with the world is that the stupid are cocksure and the intelligent are full of doubt."
-Bertrand Russell
That is the trouble, is it not? People are so cocksure that certain things must done in a certain way and insists that others follow suit or malady may befall upon them. And the naysayers do not have the courage to support themselves steady on their vertebrae to oppose such views as they themselves are not cocksure about their convictions or is it because they are wiser but do not want to offend? At the end of the day, the louder, the mightier and the vocally gifted would rule the world. The real truth would lay dormant, pacifying the feeble into submission, living on hope the elusive truth would one day came afloat to reveal the final revelation. Till that day, the cheats, bigots, idiots and evil would reign...
An old Tamil proverb consoles the oppressed in this manner, "The king's justice is immediate but the justice of the Divine is worth the wait!" Now, the problem is that the king wants to mete the Divine's justice on Earth!
