I like having Drich here for a number of reasons, none being because I agree with him, although I occasionally do.
First of all, I like variety.
Sometimes it takes me a while to recognise a new atheist here because, while we're only supposed to have a disbelief in god in common, we really are all quite similar, and to me that equals boring. :-)
I like hearing zany challenges to my world wide view.
Secondly, it's always good to have x-tians here in my opinion.
Then we can see how similar they actually are to us and therefore keep us grounded.
I lot of us have fallen hook, line and sinker for the idea that atheists are smarter than theists, especially the dumb atheists.
Thirdly, I just really admire the way that Drich keeps coming back no matter what gets flung at him.
I couldn't take the sort of heat he gets and keep returning.
Fourthly, he's been around here for a while and I like to see a familiar face. :-)
