What would you do if you were a god?

#29
Auto-translated
Without God, it is highly unlikely that we can achieve peace, and I agree with that. Whenever there are people who can exploit the kindness of others, there can be no talk of world peace.

To be more precise, it's not just without God, but without any other miracle at all (because if miracles exist, God is not necessarily the only one).
O God of Earth and Altar,
Bow down and hear our cry,
Our earthly rulers falter,
Our people drift and die,
The walls of gold entomb us,
The swords of scorn divide,
Take not thy thunder from us,
Take away our pride.


G.K. Chesterton: English Hymnal
