Another petty, childish rant from Frank Walton.

Frank continues to rant. Notice the abundance of name-calling.

Hi, this is Frank Walton. I'm sorry I did not receive your email. As of May 4th (2008) anybody posting outside of atheismsucks.blogspot.com, rationalresponders.blogspot.com, blasphemychallenge.blogspot.com, theismbeatsatheism.blogspot.com, myspace.com/atheismsucks, myspace.com/blasphemychallenge, or geocities.com/atheismsucks claiming to be "Frank Walton" is NOT me. They're impostors!
Also, rumors of me not getting along with William Hawthorne [the "mickey mouse" apologist who gives Ray Comfort a run for his money - don't believe me(?), read William's shallow-minded articles in his blog at "Atheism is Dead"(*) and you'll see what I mean] is absolutely TRUE! Recently, he has been disrespectful towards Craig French [a former member of "Atheism Sucks" and a totally awesome writer who has been cautious and weary of Hawthorne's compromising of orthodox Christianity(**)] and yours truly(***). This is something I could not stand for. William continuously shuns all sense of reality and logic. I've confronted him about this yet he reacts coldly, half-heartedly, naively (hey, he's young), and foolishly. *SHRUGS* Walter Martin had Hank Hanegraaff as his pain in the ass, and I have William Hawthorne as mine. And like Hanegraaff, William uses people for his own prestige. I regret William has my blogsite.
Be well, both pagans and Christians!
Always,
Frank Walton
(*) - Here's more proof that William Hawthorne is a putz. Former members of my crew found this out about him:
Previously, before I put him in charge of "Atheism Sucks", William Hawthorne (which is a pseudonym by the way) authored two blogsites that had little to no visitors! But in these blogsites, you'll realize he gave little input (all he does is post youtube videos, and link to better thinking writers than him), and wrote some of the most unsophisticated and unoriginal posts; and when he tried to write something as "original" as he could get it, it's awfully poor and shallow in quality, while the other writers did a wonderful job passing philosophical muster. It seems that William needs other people to gain more popularity (he certainly did that with me).
Furthermore, William speaks of changing his tone since his move to atheismisdead.blogspot.com yet you'll notice there is no change of tone whatsoever! He still gives us frank posts with superficial feedback, boring and dull commentary, and odd to unhumorous insults. Despite his telling me and the crew he wanted a more scholarly tone, he never gives it to us.
And don't let William's so-called Biola education fool you (Biola, dude, keep him!). He may know the books (he brandishes it in his blogsite like he's an intellectual giant), but when he applies it, it's a friggin' joke. Yes, indeed, William Hawthorne is the "Rook Hawkins" of Christian apologists (well, okay, he's not that bad, but he's certainly close). He tries so desperately to show how smart he is, yet he's oblivious to the fact that he's a shallow-minded fool.
(**) - Read all about it here.
Also, I'd like to thank Craig French for doing an awesome radio interview where he advertised for the "Atheism Sucks" blogsite. Of course, William Hawthorne ruined the whole situation by changing the agenda of the site and moving it!
(***) - To make a long story short: I found out that William Hawthorne planned on doing absolutely nothing, nada, zip with the "Atheism Sucks" blogsite! Meaning, despite my saying he can do whatever he wants with my blog, he thought the best thing to do with it was absolutely nothing by leaving it alone without publishing any more posts in it (since he moved). With that in mind, I asked if he could make an exception by giving me back my blog (gee, I only wrote about 97% of the material), so I can make one last post to dispense a recent rumor that he stole my site from me (this rumor was made by an atheist stalker who pretended to be me and posted on a very public and popular blog!). I promised William I did not intend on coming back to blog again at "Atheism Sucks" since I have no interest in that anymore. Also, I promised that he would have no problem with people going to his site. This would obviously help him out, and the staff, too (a staff I found for him by the way - Mariano, IrishFarmer, Tron, M, and Croath are awesome writers - I would visit "Atheism is Dead" just for them). To my utter revulsion he denied my request. (Why?!) I suspect he thought I might have given "Atheism Sucks" to someone else to use (trust me, William is scared of competition unless he has friends to back him up... he's a pansy!). So, when it's all said and done this is what William is doing: he doesn't intend on doing anything with the "Atheism Sucks" blogsite and he won't give it back to me to make one measly post. Pretty stupid, huh? But that's William for you.
Using God's name in Vain
I knew it wouldn't be long before Hawthorne finally cracked. During our discourse this is what he told me (5/4/2008):
For the record, you're right about one thing: I am a nobody. And like I've said before, but which you seem to forget, this blog is not about me or you or any of us. It's not about being a rockstar apologist and "utterly destroying" everybody in your path. We are here to serve Christ; he and only he gets credit. Thus I take no offense whatsoever when you belittle me for not being famous.
To which I retorted with:
... You're right, you are a nobody, but I can't see how God can get the credit in a blogsite that is not even religious in nature! You said so in your Q&A, you friggin' dumb ass!!! Did you forget why Craig French left in the first place? You'd know if you weren't so dismissive with him.
This is what Hawthorne wrote in his Q&A:
1. Is this a religious blog? No. The primary aim of the blog is to provide a platform for independent thinkers, from all backgrounds, to express their criticism of the increasingly dogmatic atheists we find ourselves confronted with. Thus, theistic Buddhists, panentheists, Muslims, agnostics, Wiccans, ex-atheists, and non-atheists of any sort, are welcome.
Sorry William, but you can't give credit to God if there's no religion involved. After all, to give God credit, He alone must be involved. I think we all know you're putting your ego where it doesn't belong. Feel free to forward anybody my email correspondence with you lest you say I took you out of context.

I've dealt honestly and straightforwardly with Frank Walton (if it is the real him). If anybody feels that any of the allegations Frank (if it's him) makes, they can feel free to email me with their questions to get to the bottom line.
