I don't see any difference here, except that Delicate isn't six. I expect this "new leaf" being turned won't last more than 72 hours. Whether it does or not is of no concern to me. Delicate claims to be a Christian. If this is how he/she wishes to represent Christ, so be it. That tells me much more about the 'fruit of the Holy Spirit' in Delicate's life than any number of bullshit pseudo-philosophical positions cribbed from Plantinga ever could.
Well done, Delicate. You're a hell of a witness for your faith.
IMO, Delicate is now in contention with Drich for best living spokesman for atheism, at least on this forum - but that's for another thread.
It might be time for me to reintroduce my pet project: a radio show featuring our "brightest" theists. Originally, it was meant to be hosted by Drich, GC, and Professor. However, Professor wasn't really a douche; he was just a nut. And now he's not around. So perhaps we could get Delicate to take the third chair.
I honestly believe that such a show, if it had enough markets in which it aired, would be one of the most effective atheist tools we could come up with.
