# A god That Can't

_(This is a response to a meme that says we can trust their god because of what it cannot do.)_

I always thought this was a picture of a disabled person. We trust persons that can act against us precisely because they don't. Not because they cannot, but because of things like faith, hope, and love.

That sounds familiar.

Oh boy, that meme is kind of a double edged sword, isn't it? But well said - trust is earned through a genuine act of kindness even when you have the power to do the opposite with can-do attitude. After all, true power comes not from controlling and imposing upon others unnaturally; rather making a move towards helpfulness in very natural way just eats away at all these fanciful superficialities like money chasing or greediness which comes in wheeled frames! And yes indeed those abc traits sounds Biblical...maybe we should call it divine guidance or something similar- because let's face it 'trusting someone because they don't have certain trait' doesn't sound so heroic - just ask Batman how many times he has trusted anyone based on absence of something in them. #wordsofwisdom

A God that does the least, does the most.

This seems similar to the idea that meek is not a synonym of weak. Meek is someone capable of doing harm, but who is in control of his or her actions and will choose not to unless it is necessary.

A meek God is worthy of worship, a weak “god” and the followers of a weak “god” are only worthy of pity.

Is this referencing something or is there supposed to be an image? I can’t see any other post or image attached to this and I’m curious.

It can happen when you post before the image was fully uploaded
