Take care, Koy, and here's hoping that you see your way clear to come back someday. In the meantime, keep callin' 'em as ya sees 'em.

Just another voice in the crowd here, I know. Can't say I blame you. There's only so long a person can sustain that kind of passion. Take care, and pop back by when you get lonely for a poor debate. We have more than enough to go around.

Actually, I stopped going to a place where I was once post god extrodinaire--I had the highest post count of them all. Those were the days...

Don't go--- I mean, we'll miss you and stuff. And it's not as if it's impossible for you to come here...

Aw... that sucks. See ya, bud.

Damn. I feel kinda like a general who's just seen one of his largest cannons taken out of action.

Koy, I well understand your reason. After you have smashed a falsehood into tiny little splatters, nay, into its component atoms- then come back the next day, only to find it grinning and drooling in a near identical guise, under a different name- and after you have done this for months on end- well, it gets mighty old. So I won't try to talk you out of this.

Of course, you know you are always welcome here; your fan club won't forget you, and your marvellous sharp put-downs will be used on theists over and over.

Let me leave you with a little-known Zen koan, one of my favorites.

"The wise old fox learns more from the young fool, than the young fool will ever learn from the wise old fox."

We will try to always keep a ready supply of young fools, if ever you want to learn from them. J.

Alas - it sucks to see you go Koy, but I guess that's the way the cookie crumbles.

Hope to see you back someday.

David M. Payne · 09-05-2002, 06:33 PM

Koy, hope you come back from time to time. We had our disagreements on the economic/political end, but not on the religion/cult thing.

So you do movies, well I have a few stories that should translate pretty well into film, have your computer call mine...

Good luck guy, and do come back for a visit now and then.

Koy, I am sorry to see you go, and I hope to see you back soon, at least to keep on challenging my belief in objective morality....

Objective Morality does exist nyah

Sure it's not just Jerusalem syndrome. the overwhelming (and deserved) amount of praise you get around here would make a guy feel godly (or at least i imagine it might). It's great to have someone around here who can defend the lack of faith better than most of us ever could, few others can do it, you'll leave a big hole
