I first saw the video something like 5 years ago? I met him at a literary conference which my dad attended in summer 2010. I was very young (even in my thoughts) 5 years ago. 3 years later may not be "much later" to you but it feels that way to me.

I was until recently when my dad moved to this new country I'm in. He's in the foreign service and he goes to far flung countries. But my mum won't let me say where I'm in now. She thinks I might get kidnapped or something. But I think the moderators can tell where I am in from my ISP but please don't announce it here. It's a pretty exotic country. Woot!

Hey does it surprise you that I have this need for validation and authority because like the rest of you, I'm a Christian? I am a Christian in every way accept that I don't believe in fables and lies and superstitions.

There aren't many countries that are 1 hour to the west of the UK.
3:30am? On a school night? Your mum doesn't allow you to name the country you're in (because, fuck me, narrowing it down to the millions would make it easier to find you) but she lets you stay up later than 3am?
Your sales pitch isn't working on me, I'm afraid.
edit: I was going to (half-jokingly) suggest that you were a sock-puppet of Vincenzo "Vinny" G., your "nemesis". When I checked, he has the same local time as you.

I knew it was too good to be true when you say you're a Christian and also believe the Bible should be used as bum wipes. The lack of evidence for your age throws open the doors to question every last detail about you.

I am/was, because on CF there have been a few that have claimed to be exactly 13 and have reaked havoc amongst the debates over there. To have one really smart kid is weird, but to have 5 all about 3 to 6 months apart for the last 3 or 4 years all claiming to be 13 is to have a disturbed older man getting his jollies pretending to be a young boy..
That said, the more indepth the questions, compared to the quality of the responses outside of catholic based christianity I have found a deep lack of experience or substance commonly found with someone who has lived a well rounded life. So I have concluded that this is the one out of 5 people pretending to be a 13 year old bible __________. Or this is a man who has had limited life expereience, possiably someone not from the western culture he claims (hence the need to explain the exotic location) or Someone who just sits in front of the computer all day, and this or rather outlets like this, is the extent of his personal contact with the outside world. Or it maybe a combination of everything mentioned. Who knows and who cares.
I do not judge a man on what he says his age or ethnicity or any outward factor that may normally be an issue. That is why i like this format so much, none of that matters. It is the content of your words and thoughts that matter. 13 or 30 everyone gets treated the same. If you want to play ball know i will be swing for the fences.

I find it quite interesting trying to figure out his identity. You have to piece all the puzzle pieces together to get a better picture, which is actually how history works. That reminds me of the NT, which is intruiging to look at with an open mind

Hey, does it suprise you that i am an atheist? I am an atheist in everyway Except: I believe in God and in the salvation/attonement offered by Jesus Christ's blood sacerfice, But I retain the title of Atheist. Hell, I'm even a very active member of an Atheist website! That prooves it I am an Atheist who just so happens to be going to heaven when he dies, because I accept christ, but retain the atheist title because i like being apart of the atheist community on this web site!
So done and done. You are a Christian via your beliefs just as much as I am an Atheist via my beliefs ;P What else do you have?

A little uncertain about the globe we live in, aren't you? 1 hour to the west of the UK? Try going east. Let's just say it's now the blazing hot noon here. Ho Ho Ho!!! As for school, the system here is very much different from the halves we have back home.
