Do you know why Satan is so angry all the time? Because whenever he works a particularly clever bit of mischief God uses it to serve his own Rigteous purposes.So God uses wicked people as his tools?God gives us the freedom to to do great evil, if we choose, then He uses his own freedom to create goodness out of that evil, for that is what He chooses.So, in the long run, God always wins?Yes, in the short run though it can be uncomfortable.

The excerpt discusses the idea that Satan's anger stems from his continual failures in undermining God's plans. Despite Satan's attempts to cause mischief, God transforms these actions into opportunities for righteousness. This perspective suggests a divine authority that transcends evil, using it as a means to fulfill a higher purpose.

Additionally, the text reflects on the notion of free will, indicating that while humanity has the choice to commit evil, God has the ability to convert those evils into good outcomes. Ultimately, although God's victory is assured, the journey can involve significant discomfort and struggle in the short term.

People pontificate, "Suicide is selfishness." Career churchmen like Pater go a step further and call in a cowardly assault on the living. Oafs argue this specious line for varying reason: to evade fingers of blame, to impress one's audience with one's mental fiber, to vent anger, or just because one lacks the necessary suffering to sympathize. Cowardice is nothing to do with it - suicide takes considerable courage. Japanese have the right idea. No, what's selfish is to demand another to endure an intolerable existence, just to spare families, friends, and enemies a bit of soul-searching.
