This used to be one of my favourite websites, but it it currently unavailable to me.
Has is been blocked by my ISP, or does this site appear to have been suspended globally?

In either case, I think it's frightening that a website can be suspended from users, solely for being critical of God!

Looks to me like all that has happened is that they forgot to pay their hosting bill. No pay, no website.

I don't think that's the case.
This domain was created in January of 2006, and domains are usually paid at least one year in advance.

Current domain status for this site:
Status: ACTIVE
Updated Date: 14-jan-2006
Creation Date: 14-jan-2006
Expiration Date: 14-jan-2007

It also says that the account is "suspended", doesn't sound like a bill problem to me. Maybe I'm paranoid

Edit:
I looked around, and found a likely explanation: they have exceeded their monthly bandwidth usage.

from the webhosts site:
"How is extra bandwidth billed?
When you reach your bandwidth limit by defalt your site will be suspended until the next month. You have the option of upgrading your account or buying more bandwidth. The over bandwidth fee is 6.00 a GB. You can monitor your usage in your control panel."

haha, way to make an entrance! I feel stupid
