“Well, it’s not bad any more. I

I was reading a blog about “who should get the credit” and I wonder if any of you have some of these same ideas.
One person wrote;
“you know this phony god of yours has it good, it gets all the credit for everything good, and man gets all the credit for everything bad ... the best of both worlds”.

LOOK UP
I love those scenes in action films, comics, or cartoons where you have one set of bad guys pursuing the hero from one end of a tunnel or corridor and another set of bad guys is converging from the other side. You know the hero is in between them, but when the groups of pursuers meet in
