I have faith but I also remember "And man shall have freedom of will and cause". You know, its that whole idea that WE are responsible for our actions, not God.

There's an old joke about a priest caught in a town that was flooding. With the water up to the floor of his first storey, some boy scouts in a rowboat offered him a ride. He said, "No, my children, the Lord will save me."

With the water up to his second storey, some EMT's in a Zodiac offered him a ride. He said, "No, my children, the Lord will save me.

With the water up to his attic and him sitting on the roof, a National Guard chopper sent down a rope ladder. He shouted, "No, my children, the Lord will save me." Then he died in the flood.

Upon reaching heaven and meeting the Lord, the priest said, "Lord, my faith in you was steadfast! Why didn't you save me?"

The Lord answered, "What do you mean? I sent two boats and a helicopter!"

OMG! I've heard that one when I was in Boy Scouts! We used it as a joke on people to stupid to take care of themselves when on march...

Exactly.

Rochey I believe that quote comes from the last book of the Bible about the Apocolypse...

I'll look it up. I'm sure it's on one of the websites I have bookmarked somewhere.
