I know in advance that I will not win and/or place in this particular Trifecta Writing Challenge because of the political [or religious] incorrectness of my response, but I'll give it a go, nonetheless:
This week’s Trifextra challenge is simple, but ambiguous.
Three truths and a lie.
33 to 333 words.
Bring it.
Three truths and a lie.
Fair enough.
Utilizing only the minimum requisite of 33 words, here are my thoughts:
Truth One: In difficulty, we should pray to God.
Truth Two: We need only the faith of a mustard seed.
Truth Three: God will answer that sincere prayer.
Lie: God will answer it.

I'm following your blog! hope you will do the same!:)
Minimalism, indeed. I like the parallel between the lie and last truth. It leaves a jolt and makes you really think about it.
Hey Cip! I like it. It's very real. Truth is beauty and beauty is truth. ;)
Oh, I enjoyed this one. Nicely done. Another truth/not truth.
I laughed at your comment about not placing because of the content. I also have a religious one that I may post - I had the exact same thought!
I think prayers are answered, but not always with the answer I'd like :)
I have never known the editors to reject something because of its political or religious content. I'm pretty sure that Scriptor Obscura has won or placed with a holocaust themed piece that focused specifically on the clash between Catholicism and Judaism.
I also loved that the lie was that the prayers would be answered.
You don’t always write to win – you write because you’re inspired and you want to tell your truth.
(Good one.)
Yep, Jester is right, we never preclude a piece because of its content. In fact, I like this piece a lot. It challenges a common perception and while not everyone reading will agree with you, it will certainly be food for thought for all.
