Student 1: Mr. Amberg, why do people want to hurt God?

Me: What?

Student 1: You know, the people that hurted Jesus. Why do people want to hurt God?

Me: Well… Not everybody wants to hurt God.

Student 1: But some people do! Why?

Me: Um. That’s a good question… I guess some people are just very lonely, or scared. And when people get really sad or scared, some times they make some choices that they know are wrong.

Student 2: Why don’t they just eat ice cream? That always makes me feel happy.
