I will Pray for Mr Dawkins, who is being a bit of a dawk, I have heard see and his video and thoughts about life, and frankly he is lost, he will will go to the grave with nothing, no hope, no salvation, he is a proud man, he claims to have no sin, and he knows what is right and wrong, he will tell you that his way is the way, he is a false prophet, think about it, why is it such a problem for him that he mainly attacks Christianity mmmh! who is he to tell you what is right and wrong, he has no authority, he has is own religion evolution, he does not see adaptation he does not see sin, he thinks that he is perfect, he does not believe in justice for what is justice if you do not know what is right or wrong? when you have no basis to go by, no authority..he has a law unto his own, why should any of us obey the law of the land if we feel what is right and wrong and do as we please to suit our selves, who is the government who are you Mr Dawkins then preaching your religion on us where is your authority? you see the folly in that, you preach your religion to us and want goverments to fund you religion, Thank the Lord Our God
and pray for forgiveness to what you have done, the wise he will make fools, but you can have salvation for you sins, do not believe in this man and what he claims, for you might be in danger of hell, God hates sin, he hates the proud, remember that all know they are sinners because the Lord has written the laws in our hearts, you know that there must be a right and wrong, you want justice for all evil, think about it, God wants to save you, will you listen.....?

Dear Anonymous,

You obviously haven't listened very carefully to what Mr. Dawkins says. You seem to get to the "atheist" part and then insert every Chick Publishing born-again stereotype.

Rather than just pick apart each fragmented jumbled sentence of your posted prayer, I will just address the "...he mainly attacks Christianity..." part.

First off, he doesn't only pick on Christianity. His targets are all organized religions that negate the observable, natural world for the unprovable supernatural.

Second, it appears that way because that is how he sells books and speaking engagements in countries of Christian majorities. It is simply good marketing strategy.

Third, when you have the President of the United States say he invaded Iraq because God told him to and now we have over 3000 US soldiers who have lost their lives for no wmd's and no connection to Al Qaida...it needs to be addressed.

As a man of faith, I have no problem with Richard Dawkins pointing out the blatantly obvious faults of modern Christianity.

I would hope in your blog prayers for Mr Dawkins, you would also include modern Christians, that we may be humble enough to realize that God works in mysterious ways...even to give scientific truth to the world through heathens like Richard Dawkins.

It is so hard to convey sarcasm through written word...

Quick question "Anonymous", if that really is your real name!

You say, "who is he to tell you what is right and wrong, he has no authority"

I guess my question is......who the hell are you to tell me what is right and wrong? Who gives you that authority?

Let me guess.... you'll probably say "God" gives you that authority. Right? Do you have a copy of that "authorization" letter? Did you get a badge with that? Can you write Mr. Dawkins a ticket? Throw him in jail?

Check the fine print again.....it probably says something about how judging another person is a sin.

Let ye who is perfect cast the first stone....do unto others as you would have them do unto you.

Words to live by.
Did you listen?....

hey, sorry if have come across sarcastic, I was giving my opinion, just like Mr.Dawkins,

I can see you are maybe a little angry, and are now upset with me, as I probably am with Mr.Dawkins.

Sadly you think that im attacking but no, we are called to be the salt and light to the world, as you are a man of faith, you never said of which faith? so that leaves me with not much to go on.

Selling books is one thing, telling people a lie is another, just pointing that out. So I see we are talking about judging,

Quote: "Check the fine print again.....it probably says something about how judging another person is a sin."

Quote: "probably" are you sure??

Well we all judge, as you are judging me, It's how we judge and by what measure we judge we will be judged by that same measure. Mathew 7.

We have been created in the image of god, as it is written,Genesis 1 26-28. If you read Mathew 7 it pretty much will cover your questions, about the president, judging and you asked where did I get my authority.

I have to say, yes from God from his Word, the written authority, it's there in the fine print as you would say.

now I might tell you what I believe and so might any other person who reads scripture, but it is for you to deceren whether what im saying is true or false, as I have done with what I have heard from Mr Dawkins, again Mathew 7 15

Please don't think that im attacking, if we read the bible instead of listening to a lie we will see the truth in his Word, don't get me wrong there is nothing wrong with science, but evolution yes.

Now you are saying it is fine for people to believe in that religion, for it is one! if you believe in it, you follow it. How many of our children get deceived about evolution and these so call books, don't be deceived!

If you can be deceived on those things, how much more on the bigger things.

Yes sadly modern Christianity is at a bad place, as there is allot of confusion in the world, due to things like evolution, which is taught, which is a funded government paid religion, been taught to us and our children.

How will they know the truth if we go on accepting that which is a lie, can you consider this??? are we being salt and light and being true to our faith, hmm modern Christianity!! read Romans 12 Paul tells us that we are to renew our minds, And be not conformed to this world,

if people don't know God's word for the sake of evolution, then we fail to have an authority and a law, and then as you pointed out to me, who am I to tell you what im saying is right or wrong! we will be a law unto ourselves, I only have to look at what it has done already to our morals and thinking....lets be salt and light...and thank our Lord for his wisdom and word.

I apologise for the way I have caused offence in my previous letter.

god bless....
