My Angels

Firstly, that God moves in extremley mysterious, not to say, circuitous ways.  God does not play dice with the universe; He plays an ineffable game of His own devising, which might be compared, from the perspective of any of the other players,* to being involved in an obscure and complex version of poker in a pitch-dark room, with blank cards, for infinate stakes, with a Dealter who won't tell you the rules, and who smiles all the time.
* i.e., everybody
