Has he abandoned his thread? I thought he said he'd be back Tuesday or Wednesday. D'y suppose we scared him off, or is he busy researching like mad in order to answer our questions?

That seems to be common to many Christians. They come here full of beans thinking we are full of sh*t and soon learn that it will take more than conviction and good feelings to change our minds. The threshold of education, intelligence and knowledge is sooooo low for Christians, it is difficult for most of them to understand that the "truth" is not all that obvious and that what they think they are peddling as the "truth" is mostly lies, fraud and manipulations.

I suspect that we were just the subject of a research paper for one of HG's classes. Paper written, exams over, and he's gone.

Good question. I was kinda looking forward to his response to, well, any of the questions put to him. Oh well, back to debating co-workers.

Maybe HoosierGuy just got really bored with all the standard responses and moved on. Maybe his computer broke and has been band from the library for his pornographic downloads. Maybe his mother grounded him from talking to you "heathens."

Who knows?

"Hoosier Guy"? You talkin' 'bout me?

"Full of beans". "Full of sh*t". Just can't escape the scatological references and imagery here at Infidels, can we?

Hey, we've been studying whether we should raise that threshold. But it's difficult understanding the notes we've taken, since none of us can read.

In Christ,

Douglas

But the people who say such things are not True Atheists (tm)!

No, Doug. They aren't talking about you. They are talking about a man whose posting name was actually Hoosier Guy.

Linda,

I know. I was joking. ("Go, Notre Dame."

In Christ,

Douglas
