True godliness is a sincere feeling which loves God as Father as much as it fears and reverences Him as Lord, embraces His righteousness, and dreads offending Him worse than death~ Calvin
O Lord and Master of my life take from me the spirit of sloth faint-heartedness, lust of power and idle talk. But give rather the spirit of chastity, humility, patience, and love to thy servant. Yea, O Lord and King grant me to see my own errors and not to judge my brother; for Thou art blessed unto the ages of ages. Amen.
Dr. Tommyrot reminds me of a teacher who used similar arguments only to have a young student turn the tables on her.

One day a 6 year old girl was sitting in a classroom paying close attention. The teacher was going to explain evolution to the children as well as prove their is no God. The teacher asked a little boy:
Tommy, do you see the tree outside?
TOMMY: Yes.
TEACHER: Tommy, do you see the grass outside?
TOMMY: Yes.
TEACHER: Go outside and look up and see if you can see the sky.
TOMMY: Okay. (He returned a few minutes later) Yes, I saw the sky.
TEACHER: Did you see God up there?
TOMMY: No.
TEACHER: That's my point. We can't see God because he isn't there. Possibly he just doesn't exist.
A little girl spoke up and asked if she couldask the boy some questions.
The teacher agreed and the little girl asked the boy:
Tommy, do you see the tree outside?
TOMMY: Yes.
LITTLE GIRL: Tommy, do you see the grass outside?
TOMMY: Yessssss!
LITTLE GIRL: Did you see the sky?
TOMMY: Yessssss!
LITTLE GIRL: Tommy, do you see the teacher?
TOMMY: Yes
LITTLE GIRL: Do you see her brain?
TOMMY: No
LITTLE GIRL: Then according to what we were taught today in school, she possibly may not even have one!
How foolish are the arguments of those who say there is no Dawkins. <img src="/forum/images/graemlins/wink.gif" alt="" />
I made a living working and supervising others around very large quantities of electricity. In all those years I never actually "saw" it, even once. I knew how beneficial it was to the people who bought it and respected it properly. Once in a while I also saw how "wrathful" electricity could be when mishandled or misdirected, and on a few occasions even leading to the death or severe injury of people I knew.
Just a thought. <img src="/forum/images/graemlins/bigglasses.gif" alt="" />
