God-rage

I can only assume that the situation started somewhere behind us and only intensified as all of us traveled south on I-35.
I’m traveling the speed limit, like I always do, when suddenly a small pickup zoomed up beside me on the left side and cut over 2 lanes of traffic in front of me to my right.
This cause the small pickup on my right to slam on the brakes.
The guy in the front pickup then proceeded to stick his hand out the window and give the bird to the truck behind him.
He then zoomed off but that wasn’t the end of it.
From my safe position on the highway, at the legal speed limit, I watched as the rear truck gave chase.
As we neared one of the exits the rear pickup began to exit while pulling up beside the lead truck. He then stuck his hand out the window and returned the “greeting”.
The lead truck then proceeded to edge over towards him in an attempt to run him off the road.
He swerved but as the exit median appeared the lead truck pulled back into his lane and that was the end of it.
I can only assume that preschoolers were driving since adults wouldn’t do such.
What good did any of it do?
I’m sure both feel very justified in their actions.
I’m sure in the not too distant future, people will feel justified in some God-rage.
Men were scorched with great heat, and they blasphemed the name of God who has power over these plagues; and they did not repent and give Him glory. Rev 16:9
His kingdom became full of darkness; and they gnawed their tongues because of the pain. They blasphemed the God of heaven because of their pains and their sores, and did not repent of their deeds. Rev 16:10-11
And great hail from heaven fell upon men, each hailstone about the weight of a talent. Men blasphemed God because of the plague of the hail, since that plague was exceedingly great. Rev 16:21
That, too, will not do much good.
To repent, forgive, and overlook the fault of others is better than shaking a fist, giving the bird, or cursing God!
