True, Harold, but unfortunately the Lord doesn't take "religion" or "human nature" as excuses. He expects us to act and do good works in the circumstances we are in. He's not going to be impressed by pleas of "the system was too religious for me to gain anything for you" or "I didn't fail, human nature did." He expects us to act positively for his kingdom, not just become experts on why things fail. The Lord understands our weaknesses better than anyone, but he's not going to accept failure as a ultimate result. Greater is the one in us than the one in the world.
