I always love to hear that about anyone.<br /><br />I perfectly understand the impulse to leave the Internet and the wranglings and scraps and personal attacks therein. If I didn't do apologetics and writing for a living, I would, too (it may surprise you to learn). <br /><br />I left Internet discussion boards in 2003, and stopped debating several entire groups of people, for the futility of it (anti-Catholic Protestants: way back in 2007, reactionary Catholics, etc.).<br /><br />I do enjoy our older debates, though, and am in fact, uploading several of them to my present blog.<br /><br />Good job! Of course, I think I prevailed, but you gave it the old college try, and I admire your zeal, enthusiasm, and passion for what you feel to be the true and the good. I think inquisitive, thoughtful people can benefit from our dialogues, and be challenged one way or the other.<br /><br />Wishing you and yours a wonderful holiday season.

Crazy Christian fundamentalists have put a racist, misogynistic man in the White House; Islamic fundamentalists are still spreading divinely-inspired messages of hate and intolerance...but we non-supernaturalists are missing one important "warrior" in the fight against superstition and ignorance...you.<br /><br />We need you, DagoodS. The world needs you. You are an incredible resource against the arguments of theists. You have changed lives! You changed MY life, but more importantly, you changed the lives and futures of my two little children. If it were not for you, my children would have grown up with the same rigid, fundamentalist biases and world view in which I was raised. They will now grow up to be free-thinkers. And their children will most likely be free-thinkers, and THEIR children, etc., etc.. The effects of your pro-reason, pro-science activism will affect a significant number of people in the future.<br /><br />Don't hide your talent under a bushel, my friend. Rejoin the struggle. Rejoin the struggle for a world free of fear-based religious superstitions.<br /><br />Peace and happiness,<br />Gary Garyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02519721717265344702noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20896717.post-61143500584379432862018-08-17T23:47:51.491-04:002018-08-17T23:47:51.491-04:00Life! :)

Glad to hear things are going well... and that you're still married!<br /><br />Just to keep you up to date, I'm about to get my MA in Economics, and then I'm off to teach at the International College of Beijing. My ex-wife (the ex-lawyer) opened up a Cat Cafe here, and is doing well enough to buy her first house.Larry Hamelinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08788697573946266404noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20896717.post-84924430821368782632018-02-27T23:26:25.244-05:002018-02-27T23:26:25.244-05:00Glad to hear things are well with you.

There are still a few topics that I enjoy discussing, but far fewer than there once were.VinnyJH57https://www.blogger.com/profile/17954441753543764706noreply@blogger.com
