This story is about a lot of things, but mostly about idiots. So it needs saying from the outset that it’s always very easy to declare that other people are idiots, but only if you forget how idiotically difficult being human is.
“Power isn’t doing something terrible to someone who’s weaker than you, Reiner. It’s having the strength to do something terrible, and choosing not to.”

“Yet as my friend and fellow therapist Chuck DeGroat points out, God still turned toward them[24] when He asked Adam a vital question: “Where are you?” (Genesis 3:9). In a sense, Adam and Eve had tried to disconnect from God’s love, but God’s love didn’t disconnect from them. God came for them, even in their sin. Chuck writes, “God makes an incarnational move. God moves toward them, searches them out, and when God finds them they are clothed by the Divine Seamstress. God’s movement toward them signifies an indelible message—I am your God. I will be with you. I will not abandon you.”[25]”
