Contra Providence:
One concomitant of growing up in a peculiarly well-connected family at continual internecine war is an active distrust of the providential. Gift horses not infrequently with time-bombs hidden behind the molars.
That which happens next is not God. In fact, the present event is frequently the result of machinations of the peculiarly unholy. The providentialism comes in the fact that we might be able to survive it.
