I suppose that on Mormon topics, I relate most closely with Harmony, Seven, Moksha, and Jason.

All of us have similar views regarding polygamy and other hot button topics, but are still trying to make the religion work for us in our own way.

The demons that dance on top of so many posts. You guys can see them right?

Sometimes, I suspect the poster is dealing with some personal demons. Does that count?
God belief is for people who don't want to live life on the universe's terms.

Gadianton, though it is less obvious now than it once was. Personally, I think he's doing the Sratchian analysis for roughly the same reasons he loves to talk about Internet/Chapel Mormons in front of the (semi) amateur apologists. *wink* *wink* *nod* *nod* *nudge* *nudge* and so forth.

Yes, I would have said the same back in the days when Sidewinder was posting.

I don't post much, but I read regularly.

I relate mostly to Inconceivable, Truth Dancer, and sometimes Mercury.

Well EA, I wasn't sure how or if I should respond here. I've always kind of thought of you as a (cyber) son, mainly because I guess I too feel like we're most often on the same page on things and you're younger than I am. I'm always happy to see you responding to posts that have anything to do with science and philosophy because I know the apologists will be responded to properly as well as any skeptics with a mind to mess things up for us.

I guess I kind of see Mister Scratch as a (cyber) father who I look up to in other ways. I get the impression he's slightly older than I am, but that might just be because of the AV.

Anyway, I'm glad you're posting here again, and my shift in focus in no way is a shift away from the admiration of the fantastic arguments you are making along with the Dude, Tarski, and others. Above all others though in our family of skeptics, I have to admit, when all things are taken into consideration, your arguments are the most careful and least likely to contain errors.

I guess at different times in our lives we take different paths and well, the path I'm on as my cyber self is currently fulfilling, what can I say. I think you're doing a great job as always, though, I wish you could be a little more accepting of your grandfather.
