    An ex slave trader after his conversion. He then actively worked for the abolition of the slave trade.

    Nice hymn, written by a slave trader wasn't it?

    As I readily admit snaw I am an imperfect being and I pray for forgiveness for my actions daily. I feel a hymn coming on...


    Amazing grace! How sweet the sound
    That saved a wretch like me!
    I once was lost, but now am found;
    Was blind, but now I see.

    ’Twas grace that taught my heart to fear,
    And grace my fears relieved;
    How precious did that grace appear
    The hour I first believed.

    Through many dangers, toils and snares,
    I have already come;
    ’Tis grace hath brought me safe thus far,
    And grace will lead me home.

    The Lord has promised good to me,
    His Word my hope secures;
    He will my Shield and Portion be,
    As long as life endures.

    Yea, when this flesh and heart shall fail,
    And mortal life shall cease,
    I shall possess, within the veil,
    A life of joy and peace.

    The earth shall soon dissolve like snow,
    The sun forbear to shine;
    But God, Who called me here below,
    Shall be forever mine.

    When we’ve been there ten thousand years,
    Bright shining as the sun,
    We’ve no less days to sing God’s praise
    Than when we’d first begun.

    John Newton

    What did they say about delusions of grandeur? By your own words you are a failed contractor, an inadequate atheist, inarticulate, alcoholic, have low self esteem, prone to exaggeration. When I need tips on any of the above - I will come to you guru.
    I don't recall Jesus going round slagging the unfortunate off ...

    Oh dear - what a bunch of fools the two of you are. Take a hint and do one...

    Edit: The two fools are (for the avoidance of doubt) the self styled inadequate atheist guru nincompoop and the pleb who claims his brother is some sort of priest.
