Focusing on the Puzzle Piece without Seeing the Whole Puzzle

“If God would concede me His omnipotence for 24 hours, you would see how many changes I would make in the world. But if He gave me His wisdom too, I would leave things as they are.”

― J.M.L. Monsabre

A few days ago, I posted the quote above on my Facebook page. A very good friend of mine who is an atheist (a mistaken belief system transmitted to him by his over-the-top-atheist father) but still a great guy asked, “Really?” And when I responded “Year, really.” He responded with the following: 

So, you are okay with COVID-19, the
massive over population, wars over religious and political differences, the way
humans are trashing this planet, the huge difference in the quality of life
between those who have and have-not.

But, if you think about it, I guess
COVID-19 is an example of Darwin at work weeding out the unhealthy from the
population.

If you are omnipotent and do nothing
to help, you’re just lazy and we are just an uncared for experiment in a petri
dish.

I love this response….
