Chapter 4, verses 8-10:

Again, the devil took [Jesus] to a very high mountain and showed him all the kingdoms of the world and their splendor. “All this I will give you,” he said, “if you will bow down and worship me.” Jesus said to him, “Away from me, Satan! For it is written: ‘Worship the Lord your God, and serve him only.’"

See yourself anywhere in this passage, Adam Peters? And if your house is built on such shaky ground (Matthew 7:26-27) that a "small sliver of society" can topple it so completely, perhaps you shouldn't build there? Or are you foolish and not wise?
