The TTA forum has provided a voice for literally thousands of atheist the
world over at various times, and contains(ed) a wealth of religious data and
links to hundreds of sites relevant to atheism, agnosticism, and disbelief.
I was always uneasy (still am) by the fact that for a decade, Andrews was a
radio broadcaster and zealous Christian apologist. Is it at all possible that he
may again 'desert the cause' and revert to theism? He spent 40 years of his
life as a Christian, making money from his belief. Could he be making less
money as an atheist—as it's more than obvious it's only the opportunity of big
dollars that drives his particular cause. Whatever it may be.
Great post SYZ. I posseted the hypothesis that money may be the reason the forum was nuked shortly after the forum closure was announced and following a recent podcast where he was promoting his latest book in an aggressive manner which I've not seen him do before, I remember thinking he sounded kinda desperate. I could be completely wrong of course but its not beyond the realms of possibility after all atheism is definitely not the cash cow that organised religion is.
