"How did Hiroshima and Nagasaki work out? We destroyed that, but here we are, 60 years later and they are tremendously effective and livable cities. Yes, it was pretty horrible. But, can we recover?" Beard asked. "Of course we can."

At least one progressive Christian writer I know of has also brought up the manna-in-the-desert thing. Since the manna would go bad if kept overnight, he looks at it as symbolic of the idea that God provides all we need, but only as long as we're not a bunch of short-sighted, greedy chuckleheads.

Makes everything simpler, y'know?
