The essence of the facts

Little parable-----in the tradition of the Midrash. ----and --for that matter AESOP "god uses things....." ????
Sure. You can include Aesop.

Do you know for what purpose though?

the purpose of parables in HUMAN LITERATURE?

Remember when Walt Disney set up ping pong balls on mouse traps and then tossed one ball into the array?---------try to remember----it was
NUCLEAR FISSION
No. I don’t remember that.

I am older than are you--------remember Jimeney Cricket?
Yes.

Or should I be intentionally obtuse instead?

No. The purpose of God using all things for the good of those who love him.


oh------"GOD" writes parables ----not Aesop
Now you are being obtuse.

nevah
I would have been afraid to answer the question too. I’m tricky. You were wise to avoid my trap.

You got a link to support your assertion that "witches" were "burned at
the stake" in Salem Mass. ?? I never encountered that history

Long ago I read a thing that was either a play or novella that seemed
like sort of inferior "historical fiction" ---that suggested that ENGLAND inter-
vened. Commentary on the period suggest that the matter was based
on competition for land and water ----etc, ie some sort of financial jealousy
and grasping for advantage--------that just petered out when it became obvious that it was getting to be an unbridled sort of insanity. Some
influential people began to express doubts, HOWEVER public hangings did continue
in North America for theft of life stock and horses
