I haven't read the thread which spawned this, and it's hard to justify such a non-apology apology, still, it's kind of sad. GC may not be the sharpest stick in the bundle, but he's always been a good contributor and played by the rules. I also think it's very hard for a theist when one or more atheists get their dander up, form a posse, and start bashing on the theist for the perceived shortcomings of them and their beliefs. I've rarely been on the receiving end, but I suspect it's a lot harder being a theist than an atheist here.
Anyway, half-hoping that he returns, preferably with some genuine humility.
