A thread I started has vanished without a trace. Maybe this has happened before, but I don't remember seeing it. They lock threads all the time, but why would they just remove a thread, particularly one that had gone on for 30-something pages? So weird.

When one goes down the rabbit hole that is the MAD board, it is not surprising that what one sees there causes wonderment.

It is better to be a warrior in a garden, than a gardener at war.

Some of us, on the other hand, actually prefer a religion that includes some type of correlation with reality.

Love it. by the way, I live in the same town as Steve, who authored the second email. Coincidence? I think not.

I expect it had something to do with getting rid of the evidence that a certain Church News reporter was suffering from hydrophobia.

It probably has something to do with Scott Lloyd's literal belief that Satan controls the waters.

I'm sorry I killed your thread runtu. I kept waiting for a thread lock, knew my ban was soon to follow but did not expect to take out one, possibly two others along with a 37 page thread.

Which is now locked.
"Any over-ritualized religion since the dawn of time can make its priests say yes, we know, it is rotten, and hard luck, but just do as we say, keep at the ritual, stick it out, give us your money and you'll end up with the angels in heaven for evermore."
