It is always sad when a twebber passes on. More so when it's a skeptic. Goodbye, FormerFundy, you will be missed.Tektonics Research - All content, no jokes.

He was always a very respectable one. He will be missed. He emailed me a few months before the wedding to give me congrats. I think he saw the news on here.

Re: Goodbye FormerFundy
He was a good friend whom I was able to meet and spend some time with at last year's annual meeting of the SBL. He will be missed.
As I reported on my blog his death has shaken me:

Re: Goodbye FormerFundy
Yeah, it's shaken me too. only 50 years old.
He was one of the skeptics I went back and forth with. sometimes I had a lot of respect for him, other times I wanted to slap him silly. But he always made me think and we had some good discussions.

I will miss him.
"Christianity," says Bishop Wilson, "inscribes on the portal of her dominion 'Whosoever shall not receive the kingdom of God as a little child, shall in nowise enter therein.' Christianity does not profess to convince the perverse and headstrong, to bring irresistible evidence to the daring and profane, to vanquish the proud scorner, and afford evidences from which the careless and perverse cannot possibly escape. This might go to destroy man's responsibility. All that Christianity professes, is to propose such evidences as may satisfy the meek, the tractable, the candid, the serious inquirer." http://www.woundedheart.org/sgtestimony.htm

I didn't know him, but i'm so sorry to hear this.
Remember you were once an enemy of God yourself (just like me, everyone else and even the dishonest trolls as well) and He chose to love you despite that fact. If He had given you what you deserved a "door slammed in your face" where would you be today? ~ Xmansmommy
i mean, if a skeptic is factually wrong about something, just throw the factual facts at them and ask "how is it you never came across this info? did you ever actually read a reputable scholar on this topic?" instead of just calling someone an "idiot" ~ Teluog
"Yes, if truth is not undergirded by love, it makes the possessor of that truth obnoxious and the truth repulsive." ~ Ravi Zacharias
"There are no Bible verses that I know of that tell people they should insult their enemies. None. Quite the contrary, we are to bless those who curse us. The command is always to bless, there are no commands to curse or to insult, or to belittle." ~ Adrift

Re: Goodbye FormerFundy
I don't frequent apologetics that often, but when I have, FormerFundy was one of the skeptic posters who stood out. he will be missed here that is for sure. RIP FF!

I remember sending him a PM when his brother passed away. He ws very gracious every time I ever discussed anything with him.

Re: Goodbye FormerFundy
I was shocked and saddened to hear about this. FF and I were occasionally at loggerheads, but most of our discussions were cordial. And we interacted personally via PMs and email. I gave him comments on a paper he was working on and sent him a couple I had written. I’ll miss him.

Re: Goodbye FormerFundy
Dear members, we were very blessed in our last fundraising effort. We would like to be able to send flowers to his funeral, but cannot do so without the permission of those who contributed as the contribution was for site expenses. If you contributed in this last round, and are willing to let all or a portion of your gift go towards an arrangement, please PM me. His funeral is Wed.
Also if you didn't give in the last round, but would like to contribute towards the flowers, please PM me. While he is gone, flower arrangements from friends are a source of great comfort to the family.Nochyu mokraya ptitsa nikogda ne letaet.

Re: Goodbye FormerFundy
Oh the funeral was last Wednesday during our downtime. We can still send an arrangement to the family, I need to hear from donors though for their permission.
