I was recently listening to the John Lennox and Richard Dawkins debate over Richard Dawkins new book "The God Delusion"
A single comment that really got me was when Richard Dawkins said "everything we see around us is a manufactured item and very tempting to believe the cosmos is too. (paraphrased)"
I don't mean to be rude but, duh. Why is it impossible that the universe, which is so carefully and beautifully made, not have a creator? Just as the most beautiful and majestic buildings have intelligent designers, why can't our universe have them too?

I'm sure you've heard of Richard Dawkins' now renowned, long-winded, loquaciously garrulous paragraph of insults against the Judeo-Christian God.
Well, just tonight I came up with this:
The God of the Old Testament is arguably the most pleasant deity of the ancient world; protective and proud of it; a meticulous, just, forgiving, structure-advocate; a pragmatic, impartially-symbiotic ethnic creator; a women-avenging, sexuality-designing, orphan-protecting, child-defending, slave-respecting, justice-enforcing, empathetic, long-suffering guardian.
And just to beat him to it, I also wrote this:
The God of the New Testament is arguably the most sacrificial of religious founders; impartial and proud of it; a religious-hypocrisy intolerant; an ardent, prayer-engrossed temple cleanser; a women-dignifying, child-elevating, enemy-loving, torturer-forgiving, disease-healing, soul-saving, life-giving, death-conquering, sin-paying liberator.
Well put JC Lamont. It is a good counter to what Mr. Dawkins said. Every side has it's bias, so to be fair everyone should see the two sides to it. Of course his side is a severely corrupted view.
By the way, you have quite the vocabulary. I see you're a writer, so that explains it. I imagine you are quite the writer too.
