The Way It Has to Be

Rather than take proper precautions to shield the tree of knowledge, let alone raise humanity to His own estate, the Almighty famously chose to create Hell, thereby instituting the infallible moral principle that punishment is better than prevention. Doubtless in the same holy spirit, the Christian state of Georgia has decided to treat a fourteen-year-old as an adult in aid of legal retribition for Murca's latest school shooting. Whatever else the Christian state of Georgia may hope to achieve by this, it is certainly an effective means of conveying the infallible moral principle that the slaughter of unarmed civilians is what makes a boy into a man.
