Learn from the mistakes of others

People who say they intend to carry out "God's Will" scare the fuck out of me.
Josef Goebbels thought that Adolf H was divinely ordained.
The creeps who blew themselves up in Bali and in London proclaimed that they were carrying out Jehovah's (or YHWH's or Allah's) will.
The dip-shits who claim that AIDS is God's justice upon an sinful world (mainly upon a queer sinful world of course) regard the supply of condoms and the use of retrovirals as against God's will (and of course they would know).

It reminds me of a recent commentary after Nietzsche - "God is not dead - He's just busy creating something much less ambitious". A good Jesus Follower friend (a Uniting Church MOW, no less) tells me that God has never said "Whoops!" - I find that hard to believe at times, for example after hearing one of Fred Nile's fulminations or after reading another of Eine Kleine Johnny's lawyer-speak platitudes or after listening to Tony Abbott, that fine example of a former seminarian.
