I was in the middle of a few discussions but won't be finishing them. I'm taking a long leave of absense. Probably until January. I've canceled the cable, phone (reolacing with a cell phone for important calls), dsl and unplugged the fridge and so forth. Even though I live on a busy main street I am finding it more enjoyable to go out and take a walk at night than debating Christian origins on the internet. Its summertime and I want to be anywhere but in the house. All thes forums and software and sites and movies and music and television have the habit of keeping me in for too many hours a day. They have also made me somewhat anti-social. In order to change that, aside from popping in an occasional dvd, I've decided to eliminate all of them for the summer/fall. The joys of beinbg a young, single, male bachleor living on his own

I'll still be popping in (maybe once bi weekly) and I will be adding to my site as well. I'll post updates when I do.

If anyone needs to reach me for whatever reason my new email is vinnie@acfaith.com

Until we cross swords again, thanks and farewell.

Vinnie

Ah, the lure of wanderlust. Farewell, and I hope you find whatever it is life has to offer you that you seek, which you cannot find in this online community (Impossible! This is all there is in real life!). Ciao!

And we'll even do it properly so that it's facing Mecca! (Have you notified your fanclub at Theology Web yet?

)

Take care Vinnie.

"Lo, these many years I have served this board, and I never disobeyed the forum guidelines; yet you never gave me a young goat, that I might make merry with my friends. But when this Christian plans on coming back, who has left this board for greener pastures, you will kill for him the fatted calf."

Trying to convince those hard headed christians that their God is false is a waste of time.

The words are in black a white and they do not want to know the truth.They just twist things to win their argument

They will find the truth when they die and/or on their death bed asking themselves why Jesus is taking so long when he said this generation to his disciples.

I personally am 38 years old and I do not expect a rapture or savior in my lifetime or any one elses.It 2003 and counting.

I am also still waiting for that bolt of lightning to strike me for blasphemy.

Damn. Our population of reasonable theists just dropped to 0. You'll be missed. Have fun.
