This may be true, but is, your god, trustworthy enough to not steer you into the abyss, the chasm of despair? Trust was it I read in thread, trust from those who lull the fold into complacent bliss before they drop the axe upon the necks of the unwary? We've been cajoled into thinking trust was understood to exist without question from those who stand in glowing circles on top of the hill. It is only of late, and that meaning at least the past 40 years, that we have seen the sheer curtain fray, exposing the reality of what we thought was trust, what we learned was trust, as a virtue, as a noble position. Trust has been trampled beyond recognition and like cleaning out the old cupboard full of dust and cobwebs so must the old guard be swept away making way for a fresh, new trust. A trust that is real and not the facade of a royal duping. If it stays the current course we can all assume the name of Ben Dover.
