I think I know that guy! Damn, I'm sorry I missed him!
If it's the same guy, back when Amazon had discussion forums he and I had long talks and he taught me an enormous amount. He really is impressively smart. He was using a different name back then, but when Amazon shut down he briefly appeared on the Thinking Atheist site under the name Ignorant.
Sad to say, the only response he got on that site was from one of those people who can only say "religion is dumb" over and over, so Ignorant replied "LOL" and wisely left.
If he's the same guy, he is currently finishing up a PhD in one of America's toughest philosophy schools and raising two sons. So it's no surprise that he's not chatting much. The idea that my talk here would bring him to mind is very flattering to me! Thank you!
Oh, really? Yeah, probably him then, but not sure. It's the way you debate that reminded me of him, except you're on one side of the theism spectrum and him on the other.
