It made me do it as well. Now if only I can remember the new password.
"A lie can travel half way around the world while the truth is putting on its shoes." ~Mark Twain " *** “…far from science having buried God, not only do the results of science point towards his existence, but the scientific enterprise itself is validated by his existence.”- Dr.John Lennox
“A God without wrath brought men without sin into a Kingdom without judgment through the ministrations of a Christ without a Cross.” H. Richard Niebuhr, The Kingdom of God in America
“The most difficult subjects can be explained to the most slow-witted man if he has not formed any idea of them already; but the simplest thing cannot be made clear to the most intelligent man if he is firmly persuaded that he knows already, without a shadow of a doubt, what is laid before him.” — Leo Tolstoy, The Kingdom of God is Within You (1894).

Actually, I adopted the name Stile years and years ago from a Piers Anthony book I read in grade-school.
Somewhere in the book (or series?) it explains that the name Stile when heard aloud sounds like "style" and promotes a sense of ego and attitude. However, in reality, a "stile" is a couple of pieces of wood used to get over a cow fence so you don't step in shit. Which is a very lowly and unassuming sense.
I enjoyed the juxtaposition of those ideas and when I eventually started doing online stuffs I adopted the name because I thought it was cool. Of course, being online and in text... the idea kind of loses a certain something... But, well, I was 13.
I'm enjoying the 10 minutes (or whatever) of grace for editing. Thank you.

"Science adjusts it's views based on what's observed. Faith is the denial of observation so that Belief can be preserved." - Tim Minchin, in his beat poem, Storm.
