I really fail to see how this is in any way "grace". Is it grace to give to someone the tools with which
they will effect their own death? Suppose that a neighbor desperately wanted to hammer some nails in his house to
hang up some pictures, but had no hammer. Knowing that it would explode upon first contact with a nail,
you hand him a handy unpinned hand grenade for him to use as a hammer.
Was yours a gracious gift?
