Thread: I am no longer Richard B. Davis.

I don't know if this belongs here so if it's out of place I don't care if it is deleted, moved or whatever.

After thinking about it I have chosen to change my name for a variety of reasons, namely I am not a Molinist.

My new handle is a good one in my view. Bernard Marx is the main character in Aldous Huxley's "Brave New World." He lives in a time when excesses are embraced and progress is a matter of "consumption." Marx sees people stupifying themselves with pleasures and delights and knows that there must be a better way. This is how I feel about many things. Hopefully I can curb my cynicism enough so I don't repel you all.

I hope you like my new handle.

I think it's cool.

Who was Richard B. Davis, historically?

Isn't he a faculty member at Tyndale? I believe that's his pic in Benard_Marx's avatar.

Cynicism? What cynicism?

I remember that book only vaguely. The name would have rung a very faint bell, but I don't think I would have remembered it. But you're still Tom to me. Welcome again.

What! I thought that was a picture of Tom, (but I didn't know his name was Tom--I just thought it was Richard).

He looks so life-like, as if it could really be him. Boy was I duped.

He is a faculty member at Tyndale. Do you know him? If you're from Caronport for the reason I think I have a decent idea where you know him from...even that bustling urban megalopolis is only so big.

No, I don't know Richard. I frequent college/seminary sites in Canada (I'm the webmaster at Briercrest) so I recognized the photo.

So are you claiming to be an Alpha, Tom?

Tom,
Is your avatar a picture of you or is it a picture of Richard? If it is a picture of Richard, why woukd you change the name and not the avatar also? I'm totally confused now.............

No, only an Epsilon-Minus Semi-moron who reads.

I'm glad I'm a Beta! They don't have to work so hard...

It seems to me Aldous Huxley was acquainted with the Reformers...
