If you are an example of a "Godly" person, then I thank God that I ain't one.

I wouldn't call myself "Godly", nor did I. I'm simply a theist, and recognize the patent absurdity of being an atheist and making the claim that life has some intrensic value beyond that of a rock, when both, according to the atheist, are the result of the same mindless process that did not have them in mind and cares nothing for them.

Well, I'm an atheist and I recognize that ultimately human life has no intrinsic value beyond that of a rock. However, to other humans -- myself included -- human life does have value beyond that of a rock.

Also, mindless or not, the processes that form a rock and the processes that form a human being are not the "same mindless process".
