So after 15 months here, apparently I've become a "Senior member". It's an honour. I wish to thank all of you at G&S for being kind and helpful, as much as one can be through a computer screen. It's been a pleasure to participate here, learn many new things as well as helping those who wanted to learn.
I came here at the crucial moment in my life - at the age of 20 I started to ask the big questions about life - and this site played a big role in my decision to stick firmly with Christianity.
What I like here is that I can ask whatever is on my mind, and get an answer without prejudices, which is unlike what I often experienced in my life ("How do you not know that quote?", "It's not the time or place to discuss that...", "Why does it matter? The point is to believe..." etc.). An open-minded society of Christian intellectuals is all I needed at that point, and I still do.
So thanks to all of you once again, and God bless.

It's really been a pleasure having you here Reactionary.
Byblos, we must have one foot in the grave, if someone as young as Reactionary can be referred to as "senior" anything. I feel a midlife crisis coming. Where's my Corvette.
Reactionary, it's been a pleasure to share this forum with you, as well, young whippersnapper.

So, this is my post number 500. Sorry for some posts guys, but I had to ask. I enjoy being here and also making fun with Ricky boy as well as FL and others.
But examine everything carefully; hold fast to that which is good.

Here is a trustworthy saying that deserves full acceptance: Christ Jesus came into the world to save sinners of whom I am the worst. But for that very reason I was shown mercy so that in me, the worst of sinners, Christ Jesus might display his immense patience as an example for those who would believe in him and receive eternal life. Now to the King eternal, immortal, invisible, the only God, be honor and glory for ever and ever.Amen.
