The key to him not be banned was in the bathtub.

Awww... I'll miss fr0d0. I didn't debate with him because I got the impression that he didn't want to reveal much about his beliefs and people would just go around in circles with him. And if a person isn't going to explain what/why he believes, then I lose interest. But he had a thick skin and a good sense of humor. I'll refuse to shave my feet for a whole week in his honor.
"Well, evolution is a theory. It is also a fact. And facts and theories are different things, not rungs in a hierarchy of increasing certainty. Facts are the world's data. Theories are structures of ideas that explain and interpret facts. Facts don't go away when scientists debate rival theories to explain them. Einstein's theory of gravitation replaced Newton's in this century, but apples didn't suspend themselves in midair, pending the outcome. And humans evolved from ape- like ancestors whether they did so by Darwin's proposed mechanism or by some other yet to be discovered."

You shave your feet? Wait...you shave your feet weekly?
'The more I learn about people the more I like my dog'- Mark Twain
'You can have all the faith you want in spirits, and the afterlife, and heaven and hell, but when it comes to this world, don't be an idiot. Cause you can tell me you put your faith in God to put you through the day, but when it comes time to cross the road, I know you look both ways.' - Dr House
“Young earth creationism is essentially the position that all of modern science, 90% of living scientists and 98% of living biologists, all major university biology departments, every major science journal, the American Academy of Sciences, and every major science organization in the world, are all wrong regarding the origins and development of life….but one particular tribe of uneducated, bronze aged, goat herders got it exactly right.” - Chuck Easttom
"If my good friend Doctor Gasparri speaks badly of my mother, he can expect to get punched.....You cannot provoke. You cannot insult the faith of others. You cannot make fun of the faith of others. There is a limit." - Pope Francis on freedom of speech

Just sorry that it went to ground through you guys instead of him giving it back to those who deserved it. Ah well, I guess even hobbits are human all too human. There should probably be a warning for theists posting here that they should expect to provoke the anger we feel toward those who foisted religion on us at a vulnerable age. Hopefully he'll enjoy the retirement.
It had nothing to do with him being a theist. If you had treated the board the way he has, you'd be banned too, regardless of your religious views.
Oh I'm quite sure of that. I just meant that it might feel different to someone with the minority perspective. I can see where feelings of persecution might develop. It surely doesn't justify abusing our mods and admins.

I always suspected fr0d0 of being more liberal than most of the religious people on this site so it always disappointed me a little that he didn't speak out against some of the crazy things that some religious people on this thread have stated.

So much harder to be alone than it is to have a couple of really crazy friends.
Please give me a home where cloud buffalo roam
Where the dear and the strangers can play
Where sometimes is heard a discouraging word
But the skies are not stormy all day

Oh he has many times but I agree. I wish he'd done so even more often.

Here's to hoping that JesusChristLover's poor wife is just a figment of his imagination.
The fool hath said in his heart, There is a God. They are corrupt, they have done abominable works, there is none that doeth good.

Yeah, can we have the back story on JCL? Did he finally drop the mask? If he did, was it someone we all know? .. or .. [cue scary music] .. was it someone whose name must not be spoken?
