Last few posts reminded me of something I heard in church last weekend. Sermon mentioned how joy is something that God wants for us - it's just whether we want it for ourselves. Even in the grim times of Zapaniah, there is an encouragement of this. People often talk of the Old Testament God and the New Testament one. It was pointed out they're the same God. There is no "angry" God, not the way people paint it. We do it because God gives us choices to make, and despite conscience, intelligence, and all our other gifts, we inevitably will make choices we know to be wrong. And thus, it makes it easier to blame a vengeful, demanding, angry God for the consequences rather than look in the mirror.
It has such similarities to the WAS / LBS dynamic it stuck in my mind.
