    Re: Richard Dawkins says: READ THE KING JAMES BIBLE!

    Everything he said was true, but it does not mean he follows the Book. As you tell many of the flamers on this board, stop cherry-picking words and read (listen to) the entire context please.
    Precisely! I am paying attention to the wider context. In this case, the context is clearly that Dawkins, as an intelligent man, has realised that he's going to Hell if he doesn't repent and get right with Christ, but as a proud man, he doesn't want to contradict all his previous statements too quickly and openly. Therefore, he's trying to ease himself into Christianity one step at a time. I doubt God will be impressed, but it's nice to see him make the effort.
    O Lord our God, help us to tear their soldiers to bloody shreds with our shells; help us to cover their smiling fields with the pale forms of their patriot dead; help us to drown the thunder of the guns with the shrieks of their wounded, writhing in pain; help us to lay waste their humble homes with a hurricane of fire; help us to wring the hearts of their unoffending widows with unavailing grief; help us to turn them out roofless with little children to wander unfriended the wastes of their desolated land in rags and hunger and thirst, sports of the sun flames of summer and the icy winds of winter, broken in spirit, worn with travail, imploring Thee for the refuge of the grave and denied it--for our sakes who adore Thee, Lord, blast their hopes, blight their lives, protract their bitter pilgrimage, make heavy their steps, water their way with their tears, stain the white snow with the blood of their wounded feet! We ask it, in the spirit of love, of Him Who is the Source of Love, and Who is the ever-faithful refuge and friend of all that are sore beset and seek His aid with humble and contrite hearts. Amen.



    God being truth, justice, goodness, beauty, power, and life, man is falsehood, iniquity, evil, ugliness, impotence, and death. God being master, man is the slave. Incapable of finding justice, truth, and eternal life by his own effort, he can attain them only through a divine revelation... he who desires to worship God must harbor no childish illusions about the matter, but bravely renounce his liberty and humanity.
