Impudence

And God so loved his only son that, as the minister was saying, a young lad stood up, unafraid and shouted, 'if God had really, truly loved his only son, just like you say, he would have not allowed them to subject him to a shameful death. It's what I think, he would, no way' He had turned rather pale by now, what with the stuffy congregation staring at daring impudence. While silence had descended from the source of life from God himself. Clearing his throat, the preacher raised his half-closed fist toward his God and said my son, now listen well, it's 'AS you say, not LIKE you say'! And all the people in the church did nod with earnesty and silence. Much awed by so much wisdom.
