LACK OF WARNING
Imagine if the highway department only wanted to put up highway signs that made people feel good about driving. Instead of speed limit signs with a number, they would say something like, "Whatever seems right to you." Gone would be any signs indicating potential danger such as

WRATH ON THE MESSENGER

What's in this name "hero"? Josh McDowell shares,
