Oh, is that what it's meant to represent? I thought it was Douglas Adams' Electric Monk, "a labour-saving device, like a dishwasher or a video recorder. Dishwashers washed tedious dishes for you, thus saving you the bother of washing them yourself, video recorders watched tedious television for you, thus saving you the bother of looking at it yourself; Electric Monks believed things for you, thus saving you what was becoming an increasingly onerous task, that of believing all the things the world expected you to believe.
Unfortunately this Electric Monk had developed a fault, and had started to believe all kinds of things, more or less at random. It was even beginning to believe things they'd have difficulty believing in Salt Lake City."
A belated hello, non-felonious monk!
I do remember him referencing the robot to atheism and his motif of us being without god . He has a history over at Rational Responders. They didn't have to boot him, I think he came here because he figured he couldn't peddle his wears there so he is taking a shot here. No one gets booted there so even now if he wants to post there he still can, as far as I know.
He is still a theist, and even in this introduction thread he has already used the fallacy " I was an atheist myself". Tried that crap with us over there too.
