Saluting all the good and great theists we have had on this site.

RE: Saluting all the good and great theists we have had on this site.
I don't know. I barely participated in this years rapture, but I think it did end with his annual threat of leaving if he was wrong, and I haven't seen him around.
I can't remember where this verse is from, I think it got removed from canon:

"I don't hang around with mostly men because I'm gay. It's because men are better than women. Better trained, better equipped...better. Just better! I'm not gay."

For context, this is the previous verse:

"Hi Jesus" -robvalue

That's a very professor way to go indeed Cool
Hopefully he'll get used to the world not having ended and will come back for more wild conspiracy theories.

Boethius is near and dear to my heart. As he sat in prison awaiting execution it was not to Jesus he turned but to philosophy. Tertullian, in his capacity as a public defender and not as an intellectual, is endearing; Augustine, when he's introspective, as a rhetorician is topnotch. Abelard and Origen, premier thinkers in their day, were decent, though I feel towards them what Nietzsche rightly felt towards Pascal: Christianity cannot be forgiven for what it did to them. Dostoyevsky is probably thee best author I have come across - so in whatever capacity his religion shines, there's something to admire. Come to think of it, virtually no writer until Hobbes is openly atheist, so pretty much of all the ancients that I'm fond of can be credited as being (poly)theists.

Wow, those must be really ancient members. I don't recognize any of those usernames.

What is this, the ending to a Yakov Smirnow joke? Smile

I couldn't understand him at all, but I liked the fact he wasn't hostile.

I haven't noticed anything after his delayed rapture date in early october. Doubtful that he learned his lesson. He's too far gone, but never hostile, as you already said.

No, he just ran to the supermarket for more tin foil. Don't worry. He'll be back.
