Ted,
You can stop posting as anonymous. I know it's you writing in my blog, ya fat boy.
You should all know that I've been challenging Ted Bell to a fight over and over again, yet he still refuses to come to my house despite his claiming he has my address. I don't know who's more of a coward, him or RRS! -
Ted Bell,
You don't have to pretend to be Frank Walton with us. It's me, sweetheart. Remember last night when your white trash mother joined us in bed? Whew! I figured this is the real thing. No more faking for Teddy. You weren't pretending then why pretend now? Even your whore girlfriend had fun too! Some of you may not know this but Teddy has the sexiest, hairiest ass in the world. Kelly used her manly hands to hold ol' Teddy down while Rook explored every part of Ted's two-inch pee pee! Rook could tell you the whole story.

Listen you balding freak, our founding fathers started this country with the idea of being able to have our own religion, Christianity. Not to make sure religion is gone from everywhere. It\’s pretty obvious from reading your stupid drivel avery week that you are an idiot. I\’d take you on in a debate in a minute, you girlie looking moron.
Plus I\’ve already refuted just about anything you\’ve ever said.

Plus I love how you took that one thing I said out of context that one time. Thanks for that post you homo, I got tons of traffic from it.
Oh one more thing you suck.
God help me, if we ever meet in the same place and you see a large black man (with Irish and Puerto Rican blood) walking towards you, you best believe that that’s me. You better prepare to have your *** beat. And if you ever feel punchy do let me know because I\’ll be more than happy to spar with you without gloves.
Frank

Too bad all the federal circuit courts can’t be like the 9th Circuit court. That is my favorite Circuit court in the country!

Sorry, but I don’t have any religion — especially not Christianity.
Last I looked, that isn’t the implication or basis of the above court decision.
Feel free to post refutations of any of my arguments on all the things you read here every week.
Feel free to support your allegation.
Wow, you sure showed me.
Well, that sure causes me to reconsider not being a Christian.

*SIGH*
You think I want to convert you?
What a freakin retard, you’re already brainwashed. In fact I’m glad you’re going to hell. It’ll be fun for you to think for eternity about what an idiot you’ve been. In my opinion you aren’t even worth humanity.

Wow, threats of physical violence, with petty insults thrown in. How very pious.
Comment by Joseph — September 12, 2007 @ 8:35 pm
You’re doing such a good job so far…
That might be my youth in the Baptist Church.
Well, that’s certainly a good, traditional Christian viewpoint, right?
For that, I’d require good reasons now to think that your god exists; at the moment, though, your god is no more likely to exist than Zeus.
I’m sorry, but that statement is indecipherable.

Frank said, “What a freakin retard, you’re already brainwashed. In fact I’m glad you’re going to hell. It’ll be fun for you to think for eternity about what an idiot you’ve been. In my opinion you aren’t even worth humanity.”
Wow Frank. You’re a shining example of Christian love. Your preacher must be so proud.
Keep spreading that love! You do more for our case than you do for your own.

I never know whether to respond to people like Frank or not–because on the Internet you get no indication as to whether or not they’re laughing as they post. I don’t know if Frank is a 13-year-old having fun or “for real.”
I received a personal e-mail once from someone who tracked down my private e-mail just to send me a clever graphic implying that I reject god because of fear. When I googled the e-mail address of the sender, I found some rather funny religious posts where he’d egged on a baptist minister at this minister’s “advice” site (obviously making up a convoluted, but very humorous sex story leading to what he claimed was a [again, quite humorous] religious dilemma–it was an obvious gag).
So, here I was, an atheist, getting a goading note from the same kid who was sending goading notes to this Baptist minister. Just someone having a bit of religious fun playing both ends. I don’t fault the kid, he’s just bored and playing jokes on the Internet. But with some people, they’re so wacky you just can’t tell if they’re egging you on as a gag or if they believe what they’re saying.
It’s like those outrageous things you hear sometimes that you just can’t spoof because they seem to be beyond spoofing (as they are just so goofy, they spoof themselves). And with Internet anonymity, sometimes I just can’t make up my mind if someone is serious. Frank would be one of those someones.

On a serious note, we have parks where I live where parts of the parks are maintained by citizens or groups. You can ‘adopt’ part of the park, and you get to take care of it. You also get a little plaque naming your group. I don’t know if they allow monuments on these little sections of ground, but I probably wouldn’t mind a group putting a cross on such a thing as long as everyone else who adopted could put up a corporate logo or symbol of their group as recognition of their sponsorship.
Now, it’s probably safer to just say, “Nobody can put up anything, everyone just gets a generic plaque,” but in theory, allowing a symbol or logo as well wouldn’t bug me–it would only stand as long as the group maintained the ground and their sponsorship.
The Atheist Community of Austin actually does an “adopt a highway” sponsorship, and has a highway sign with their name on it. The stretch of highway goes right in front of a church, too–although with this program, you get what the city assigns you, so it just fell to that lot, it wasn’t planned that way by ACA. But kind of ironic.

Walton’s response is so typical of an uneducated, closed-minded religious bigot that it almost reads like something out of a mediocre tabloid publication. He can’t offer any solid evidence to refute Austin’s points, so he opts for personal attacks instead. At least he keeps coming back to read “avery week”! Perhaps Austin’s site is slowly cracking that typical Christian resistance to reason.

I agree with tracieh, It’s hard to tell where these “Frank Walton” types are coming from. I took a look at his site and he does appear to be
serious about his attempt to bolster his own version of Christianity, though unconvincingly.
I googled his name and found this site: http://frankwaltonchronicle.blogspot.com
Seems like he really gets a kick out of being a jerk.

Just checked out Walton’s blog. What a loving Christian site! It instantly converted me from godless atheism to superstitious dogmatism.
Comment by DaveTheWave — September 13, 2007 @ 12:58 pm
I would probably ignore comments like these given the obvious name-calling. Perusing the site over the last few years, I have seen quite of few comments posted by overzealous theists who resort to personal attacks. Calling someone a balding freak does nothing to help an argument, it only shows the person to have the mentality of a
immature kid.
