### The faithful, as they behold a battlefield full of maimed corpses,
screaming wounded, wailing women and orphaned children, say "God is
love". As their children are claimed by the pox, they say "Praise the
Lord! God is merciful".

As the believer cites evidence of government dysfunction, where
judges, bailiffs, policemen, all fed by your taxes, are destroying the
lives of innocent people, he exclaims "Down with the rich! We need
more government!".
