"God is so much bigger and wiser than us, and trying to see what he's thinking would be like an ant trying to see what I'm thinking" said Dewey.
"Yes, exactly" said the church woman. "But we can trust in his wisdom and we can have faith that he is watching over us".
Then Dewey said "Like me with the anthill in my backyard. I spent days watching the ants, trying to figure out which ones were good, which ones were bad. But they all just look like ants. So I start smiting all of them. I was smiting them with the garden hose and with lighter fluid and with the lawnmower. And to be perfectly honest I think I went a little crazy with the shovel. Those ants could've been praying to me all day. I wouldn't have heard them... there was nothing they could do about it. And really, it's the same with us. There's nothing we can do about anything either, so why worry about it? I guess all we can do is live our lives with as much kindness and decency as possible and try not to dwell on God standing over us with that giant shovel. Bye."
