OK, so I have had no fewer than seven failed registrations today from people with names who are variants on “have faith in god”. Here’s a hint, “have faith in god”… If you really want to post on my blog with religious messages, use a valid email address! Seriously, that’s all it takes. Use a valid return address, and you can post to your heart’s content. As long as your comments follow board guidelines, I’ll let them stand. This, of course, means “no advertising”, so if you post the same message with twenty-six spammish links to a web site, I’ll kill it along with the “vi8gra ci4lis enl4rge ipso facto annuit coeptis novus ordo fellatio” posts I have to prune on a regular basis.
One would think that, if “have faith in god” was a pious chap, he’d avoid the appearance of evil by using a fake email address. I mean, isn’t lying a sin? Or, if he valued his pseudonymity, he could always post anonymously here, following the clear instructions and looking at the little picture to ensure he’s not an automated script of some sort.
Heck, some Chinese spammers have figured this out, and apparently hired laborers at $0.25 a day to submit spammish comments. The least you can do is register a throw-away account, post your troll, and then never check that free-mail account again. That’s what everybody else does.
Disposable Accounts
No kidding. The days of having a valid spam account are close to done. Instead of a hotmail, gmail, etc. account for throwaway, I use ‘xxxxxxxxxx@bugmenot.com’ and it works like a charm!

Fun on the theme
Since I know people are going to end up reading the account name somewhere in the e-world, I usually use something like: ‘ifyoureadthisyouwillgetherpes@bugmenot.com’
Baiting.
I am a master of that.

I figure it’s my fault. can
I figure it’s my fault. can you BELIEVE the number of views my little rant got?
I am a dyslexic agnostic. I have no faith in dogs.
Quite a bit of that…
There’s quite a bit of that on this site, really. Justin’s and my arguments from, what… four years back? Something like that. Anyway, we’ve had some pretty legendary disagreements. We eventually reached a point, I think, where we knew exactly what the other would say on a given topic.
Perhaps we should number them.
“Atheist Rant #17” “Apologetic response #9” “Atheist counter-argument #4” “Christian interpretation #3” “Damn it, Justin, you win by being reasonable again. Stop that.”

On Christians and Cars
You know something I bet no one has EVER said when they find themselves behind someone with a Christian wire-frame fish on their bumper?
“Look honey, those people must be Christians. Let’s ask them to pull over so they can tell us about Jesus!”
On a related note, I’ve always thought that “Wire Frame Fish” would be a cool name for a Christian band.
Left a note…
I have left a sticky note under the windshield wiper of a parked car once when I first saw the Darwin Fish:
“Love the Darwin fish!”
