Religion: Real or Fake

[Robert]

Ok, what's his e-mail address?

Dear Mr Boss of Provost Harrison,

Your employee, also known by the irregular name 'Provost Harrison', is a frequent visitor of my online messageboard apolyton.net.
If the irregular name doesn't ring a bell to you, he's used IP xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx. on Wednesday January 5th 2011 13:02 CET.
He's a very respected member of our society, made over 15,000 posts, mostly during business hours. Therefore I'd like it to hire him as my personal abbreviator.

Please let me know his hourly rate and the transaction condition.
Kind regards,

Robert Plomp

something tells me that you'll be unemployed soon and can work for me for free!

I don't think "mostly during business hours" is really fair or accurate in the last few years for PH. I'd say he's mostly been posting outside business hours or when not actually working since he's been a consultant. But with varying business hours as he tours around the world.

[Robert]

Yeah, but that's less fun.

[MOBIUS]

But it's also likely to be true.

Funny how you prefer the made up version - kind of apt considering all the other made up stuff you believe in...

[MikeH]

ZING!

And the prophet came and spake once again to the crowd, saying "Lo!", for verily was it the custom to commence such an address with the word "Lo!".

"Lo! I tell ye all, this poster is our old friend Drixnax, manifesting himself with a new login, and bundled with a clue - Chameleon, referring doubtless to his regular changes in appearance".

Mike is right to be fair...and since mid December I have been on holiday I wish I had the chance. Actually I was on a bit during December during work because things were going so smoothly I didn't have a lot to do

I'd be amused if the root of all this turned out to be Stewart Spink...it kind of fits his style!

At least I'm consistent in my believes

So who's obvious DL is this?

It's always silly to follow anything blindly.

I've always equated faith with "follow blindly"

[Napoleón II]

I am the son of the Sun God. Bow before my majesticness!

If you were, Napoléon II, you'd realise that the acute accent goes on the e, not the o, f**kwit

“The Spirit of the Lord is on me,
because he has anointed me
to proclaim good news to the poor.
He has sent me to proclaim freedom for the prisoners
and recovery of sight for the blind,
to set the oppressed free,
19 to proclaim the year of the Lord’s favor.”

Luke 4:18-19

"Lo! I tell ye all, this poster is our old friend Drixnax, manifesting himself with a new login, and bundled with a clue - Chameleon, referring doubtless to his regular changes in appearance".

I considered that--and this bozo strikes me as more obviously DL than Argus--but I'm not sure what "point" he'd be trying to make by this, since he didn't believe in God himself. A clumsy, not terribly lucid "discussion" of theism under the guise of open-mindedness seems more the type of strawman a theist would deploy. The name "Sting Chameleon" is obvious, but I figured this was someone like Kid trying to be clever, not Drinksnacks. But it could be that Drixy was just feeling spiteful and wanted to start a dumb controversy.

Ok, it's a declaration of Luke's faith. (Which he followed blindly) So what.
