Stormbringer's Thunder

I highly recommend the poem, "A Cowboy's Easter", which you can find here . Also, if you find yourself with some time to spare and feel like examining evidences for the resurrection of Jesus from the dead, you can find that here . By the way, my father died 14 months ago.

You see, a "fool" in Biblical usage is not just someone being, well, stupid. Sure, a fool says that there is no God, but it's more than that. A fool is also lacking in moral fiber. The rest of this verse reads, "... They are corrupt, their deeds are vile; there is no one who does good." Long ago, I learned from a Creationist, "If there's no Creator, you can do what you please. But if there is a Creator, he makes the rules and we'd better find out what he has to say." And I put that to the arrogant ...
