We know our will is free, and there’s an end on’t.
Samuel Johnson
People often ask why God,
Whose Omnipotence is clearly beyond dispute,
Doesn’t lift a finger to save the starving children
In war-torn enclaves laid waste
By imperialist sacrilege, or – to be
Even-handed – offer comfort to the world-wide
Victims of Marxist tyranny.
What these people forget is that even religion,
In deference to the Enlightenment, accommodates
Free Will,
And so to frustrate the will of Man would be
Against Philosophy.
