I was once a Christian fundamentalist like GC, and remember well encountering the phrase "Last Thursdayism" on 'AA' (alt.atheism); it was the beginning of the end of my journey out of religious fundamentalism, and ultimately, into atheism.

I love it whenever I hear atheists speak of alt.atheism. Usenet - The frontier days of the internet! I wonder how many people here were not even born when usenet was in its heyday. I kind of miss those days because everyone on the net back then was computer-savvy. There was none of the Facebook crowd.
Only two things are infinite, the universe and human stupidity, and I'm not sure about the former.

I got on the 'net during Desert Shield. We had mailing lists. No GUI. So much fun.
