I hear he’ll be back - but we won’t know when until it’s too late.

Guess I’ll go ahead and eat the pie I brought.

Crucify it. We have no king but the moderators. Spare Barrabbas. (Bring back **Diogenes the Cynic**.)

Seriously… What is there to say? The thread is dead, because the intellectual value of the proposing side is nil. “You ought to worship the way I do.” Well, we don’t. What more can be said?

I wonder how **jesusguy** expected this thread to turn out. Were we all supposed to be speechless? Were we meant to fall out or have a sudden revelation?

Admit how foolish we were and praise his wise name, I suspect. That’s what seems to drive the proselytizers I know in real life.

I think he expected to be flogged:

I’m afraid I have to concur. There’s nothing to be gained here.
