Why does no one stand at noonday and stare directly into the sun?  Why are there no military or corporate missions flying spaceships to the sun?  What person would reside naked in the desert, exposed to the ravages of the direct sun?  These things are all well known logical questions that are easily answered with equally logical answers.  The sun blinds, the sun burns the sun will kill when challenged or approached without reverence for its power and raw authority over the life and death of man.  Why then do we approach God, the same God who made all suns, all planets, all life, man and atomic reactions without even a modicum of the same reverential logic?

Do we need to see an erupting volcano to know of its potential?  Is evidence of boiling mud, heated sulphur ponds, vents, cracks, rumblings and fault lines enough demonstrable and logical evidence to convince people that there are large quantities of magma beneath their feet simply waiting for the opportunity to explode around them?  Must we be taken down by pyroclastic flows be showered with debris and ash or washed away in lava or mud to understand the devastation that will occur when the volcano in fact erupts?  The logical and obvious/indisputable answer is NO.  Everyone knows that living in a volcanic area comes with a certain acceptance of the risk.  Why then do we toy with God, thinking that the evidences around us do not indicate that we may be destroyed in an instant through this behavior?

Would any man walk defiantly into a radioactive area without fully acknowledging the life sacrifice?  Would any woman allow the doctor to take xrays of her children without reason or protective garments protecting the surrounding areas.  Would any father allow their children to drink water or milk that is known to have a radioactive level?  Why then do we walk blindly into the poisonous world, exposing ourselves and our children to the corrosive and life threatening damage done to all?  Why then do we ignore God’s directive to remain unsoiled, untainted, un-spotted or become poisoned by the world?
