The "We'll miss you 1inChrist" thread

What will I miss of 1inC? Not a gosh dern thing. The odds were always short that he was a troll, and a poor one at that.

Why is that not 1inChrist? Its gender, so far as I know, has not been determined.

1inChrist: talk to us. We won't laugh at you. Well, not all of us.

From her website:
Sunday, March 17, 2002.

Jack and I met a new alien being whose name is Qwanee. He is of a race of light that we have not met physically before, but is related to The Gendar. The first thing he said to us was "Tokyo Japan." I wrote that down, and then I continued to write as he continued to speak.

The people of Japan don't know it yet, but they are the ones chosen to have first open contact with the alien races visiting Earth and it will happen "soon" in Tokyo. The plan is already in motion. As far as the aliens can see, it may even become fully diplomatic.

Of course, she doesn't say how soon is "soon"... or why it needs quote marks around it.

Ha, we're already here, stupid Earthling! Soon we will reveal ourselves and start eating your brains to nourish ourselves! Be afraid! Be very afraid!
 
As was pointed out often to him, 1inC did more to highlight the fundamental flaws in Christianity than any atheist or person of other faith could possibly do.

The No True Scotsman believers seemed embarrassed by his extremism. Yet, much of what he quoted selectively from the Bible says exactly what it says. It was interesting to see the touchy-feely believers try to point out his errors and fallacies by applying error and fallacy.

1inC's interpretation of the Bible was just as valid as any other sect's interpretation. Indeed, 1inC should have served as a timely warning to others that with a change in mindset 1inC's version of Christ coming with a sword is just as valid as 'love your neighbour'. Plus the selective quoting of some OT laws as gospel truth, while for others "people had some sily ideas in those days" was funny, but chilling.

I liked the bit where he enjoyed the "Passion of Christ", then realised that Mel Gibson is an extremist Roman Catholic and castigated him for damning other sects to Hell.

I didn't like the bit where he said (albeit in a metaphorical way) that he would throw his kids in the fire if he knew they were condemned to death. I thought he was getting pretty close to the "reasoning":

the wages of sin is death = if my kids sin, they should be thrown in the fire

That is when I backed off. He seemed pretty unstable.:(
 
I liked his attacks on logic and reason. He braids the hemp, he ties the noose, he sticks his head in and mounts the scaffold, and stands there shouting "Will somebody give me a push..."

He was right about one thing though. I do use logic, and (though not as a consequence) have eaten many cheeseburgers and will eat many more.

Mel Gibson isn't an extreamist RC by any means. He has several major dissagreements with the church.

Makes no difference. As far as Mel is concerned, HIS (pre-Vatican II version) is true, unadulterated Roman Catholicism. It's all "no true Scotsman". One person's prophet is another's heretic. The Pope has God, "authority", and millions of dollars on his side: Mel has God, his Dad, and millions of dollars on his side. To non-believers, and all Protestants the "authority" of the Pope means nothing.

What does Mel say his religion is?
 
There is little that I'll miss. He started so many threads, I believe, insincerely. He never stood behind his arguments. He may have posted as many as 4 times on page 1 of his threads and then abandoned them only to begin another while the abandoned threads continued like a too tightly wound wind-up toy.

If he was honest about having daughters that went away to college and abandoned the faith he instilled in them, I hope he can see how shallow, stifling, and unrewarding his teachings must've seemed to them.

In the end here he couldn't tell the difference between a revelation from the God he loved and adored and the great deceiver he tried to turn us away from.

If any good comes of this it will involve a softening of his certainty that others including his daughters are on the road to perdition and he's not.

I hope good does come out of this experience for him. It would be a win for him and JREF.
 
Another lurker here. I have to say s/he really made some of my otherwise boring evenings interesting in a 'is this person serious, shouldn't he get some help...' kinda way. Although sometimes it was quite sad to see all that craziness. Providing that s/he was serious.
 
I still maintain old 1" is a fictional character, 4 beers deep while posting, laughing his ass off every time he pushes a button and respondents jump. His positions are cliches that have so much off-the-shelf refutation available that they are laughable. He is setting the ball on the tee, and snickering like mad when you hit it over the fence and trot the bases with your chest out. He has no genuine emotional investment in the fiction he spins, so there is no need to worry for his well being.

Look to his earlier posts, in which he was slicing quotes and sub-commenting on entire responses with a flair that harks back to.....dare I say it?.....Franko. After that, he comes back with a simpler persona, feigning naivete, and losing some of the experienced forum-savvy manners that his early posts betray. He cultivated and developed a more consistent hayseed personality over the course of his career here, but he was in no way consistent throughout it.

It has been amusing, though :)

Me too!

As well as our discussions on the origin of evil!:p
 
Hmm, it aint the jref-forums without believers to smack around. Allthough im usually the passive cheerer, its the warming pleasure of ganging up on those charming nitwitts that brings me here.

Don't worry. The wash of the crawling chaos that is the internet contains plenty of prey.

For now be content to clean your faces of offal and sharpen your sanguinary instincts.
 
I'll miss the sheer entertainment value of trying to guess whether he was actually serious or not. Mostly he came across as sincere, but there were times that you just said to yourself "okay, this has got to be a joke. Surely nobody is THIS stupid.

I'll also miss his argument that logical arguments against god are useless because logic doesn't apply to god. I found this highly ironic given that the very statement itself IS a logical argument about god, so his argument is self contradictory. Something he completely failed to realise...
 
If he fades away (or commit collective suicide with the rest of his cult members inside a garage), maybe we should consider taking turns on playing the fundie poster role.

We could also play the roles of creator of a new philosophy, contactee, homeopathy defendant, beliver in psi, etc...

BTW, Navigator also added some colors to the site...
 
He certainly garnered a lot of attention. Look at all the threads that either discuss him specifically, refer to him, ask him questions and of course the invariably hilarious ones he started himself. I'll miss him - he's a large part of the reason I joined. Its remarkable the things he said while not intending to be funny or ironic. Unless of course he was just taking the piss the whole time.

Probably the highlight for me was his revelation that he's part of a ten-man congregation in the converted garage of his mate's. Suddenly all his confident proclamations and condemnations etc developed a backdrop which made them all the more hysterically funny and/or disturbing. I drew parallels with my earlier youth when a friend set up a 'club' in his garage and invited only certain worthy people to join, the coolest club there was and the exclusive arbiter of things cool. This of course despite no doubt similar claims by similar 'clubs' established long before ours. Then there was actual youth clubs, officially recognised ones. I viewed 1inChrist as like a denouncer of 'The Official Youth Club' - 'Gaelic football?? Pah, seduced by Satan - Soccer is The One True Beautiful Game'. :D

I also remember some of his statements in threads past and I'm quoting off the top of my head:

- 'its ridiculous - they believe Mary saves souls'

- 'Satan but no God? Absurd'

- 'I'm not denying millions of people can believe a lie - look at Islam'
