Your alias

[Cheezy the Wiz]

Well I took the username from a friend of mine who doesn't really use it anymore. It sounded creatively goofy, so I comandeered it for my own machavellian purposes.

 

[Turner]

I used to work in a spatula factory, and my buddies at the time thought it would be cool to call me Turner. Kinda stuck.

 

[Prince_Imrahil]

From LoTR, an obscure character who had probably no more than three pages on which he appeared, yet struck me as a really cool guy... guess I shared Legolas's impression of him. So that's my story, not to interesting or anything.

 

[kuukkeli]

Kuukkeli is a bird species in Finnish. I think English name for it is Siberian Jay. That bird had essential part in some inside jokes and I've used it on many occasions as a forum nick.

And about door-to-door preachers, I just tell them to learn to think for themselves and be gone from my door as I'm not interested in their tales. Can't see any reason to bother any gimmicks to "scare" them.

 

[Hitti-Litti]

My dad had a good way to shoo door-to-door preachers. He says them that Bible says "And Judas hung himself" and "You should do the same." They are just in different places! And then criticizes them for combining parts of Bible from different sections.

 

[Swedishguy]

I'm swedish. And I'm a guy. Names don't have to be complicated, you know. Now, the only thing that is annoying is that there are other people who call themselves Swedishguy.

Tell us more. Who was he?

 

[Abaddon]

I have several reasons

Abaddon (Hebrew אבדון Avadon, meaning "destruction"). In Biblical poetry (Job 26:6; Proverbs 15:11), it comes to mean "place of destruction", or the realm of the dead, and is associated with Sheol. Abaddon is also one of the compartments of Gehenna.[1]

In Revelation 9:11, it is personified as the demon Abaddon, "Angel of the Abyss",[1] rendered in Greek as Apollyon; and he is described as king of the locusts which rose at the sounding of the fifth trumpet. In like manner, in Rev. vi. 8, Hades is personified following after death to conquer the fourth part of the earth.

Abaddon is one of the infernal names used in Satanism, and is first in the list—only as it comes first alphabetically—and means "the destroyer."

WHO IS THE "DESTROYER"?

While some end-time prophecies of the Bible are still not clear, events will not occur as has commonly been expected. The "beast" who ascends out of the Abyss during the "last days" will be an angelic king named Abaddon. He, with his army of fallen angels and demons, will overpower the human global government and take over as ruler of the earth. Abaddon will even conquer the holy sanctuary in heaven and gain victory over the angelic hosts of heaven. Nevertheless, his rule will be for a limited time only; after 3 1/2 years, God will take his authority away. Abaddon will marshal his forces and attempt to finally destroy God's people, but he will be unsuccessful. He will end up in the lake of fire as Yeshua the Messiah establishes the Kingdom of God at the beginning of the Millennium.

Abaddon has also been identified as the angel of death and destruction, demon of the abyss, and chief of demons of the underworld hierarchy, where he is equated with Samael or Satan.

The Angels Abyss:

And to top that off he is a Character in Julian May's Many Coloured Lands series... a person with many many mental powers.

Now people can understand why i faffed so much for this name

 

[Eran of Arcadia]

And about door-to-door preachers, I just tell them to learn to think for themselves and be gone from my door as I'm not interested in their tales.

I found that one funny as well. You don't know me and don't want to learn anything about what I believe yet feel qualified to tell me that I don't think for myself . . .

 

[Xanikk999]

Xanikk is my self proclaimed nickname that my family sometimes calls me.

I named my first character in my first mmorpg, final fantasy xi, xanikk. I thought it sounded cool and dark, because he was going to be a dark knight. I liked the name so much i asked people to call me that.

I found that one funny as well. You don't know me and don't want to learn anything about what I believe yet feel qualified to tell me that I don't think for myself . . .

So are you trying to say that it's somehow contradictionary for me to say that I'm not interested in your faith while I'm asking you to think for yourself? Maybe I've already done my thinking and it has made me an atheist. And most of all, maybe I believe that that thinking (unbiased and open minded) will inevitably lead to that result. Or is it somehow more important for me to hear the gospel than for you to question it?

*You refers to any door-to-door preacher, as my initial comment was also generic.

EDIT: And Abaddon, you forgot one cool Abaddon - I'm of course referring to drummer of Venom.

 

[Turner]

Maybe he's already done his thinking, and that makes him follow the religion he does.

 

[Rhymes]

I actually hate my Alias, its a name I used in my first chat years back in 1995 when I was 13. I used it the first time I came to civfanatics to be able to download some civ3 files. It's a matter of time before I pm Thunderfall about it.

Hey, what's wrong with "Rhymes"?

 

[Rhymes]

Hey, what's wrong with "Rhymes"?

reminds me of Busta Rhymes,
or someone who likes rap or poetry, which isn't the case.

Originated in AD&D back in late 91/early 92.

OR you can make this guy to a avvy:

 

[Eran of Arcadia]

So are you trying to say that it's somehow contradictionary for me to say that I'm not interested in your faith while I'm asking you to think for yourself?

Only if you assume that it is a result of not thinking for myself that I have faith.

Maybe I've already done my thinking and it has made me an atheist.

No doubt, but just because your thinking led you one direction doesn't mean everyone who doesn't agree doesn't think.

And most of all, maybe I believe that that thinking (unbiased and open minded) will inevitably lead to that result.

I question, and think about, my faith. It does not come easy. I know that others reach different conclusions. I do not think that any one conclusion is inevitable just because it is the one I reach.

Or is it somehow more important for me to hear the gospel than for you to question it?

No, what is more important is for you to hear it if you are going to make conclusions abut it. if you don't want to listen, that is fine, but then you can't really say anything about it.

*You refers to any door-to-door preacher, as my initial comment was also generic.

Well, one size doesn't fit all.

Maybe he's already done his thinking, and that makes him follow the religion he does.

Yes. I could be wrong but I didn't just pick it out of a hat.

Anyways, just saying is all, didn't mean to go off topic, as this has little to do with my username. Although actually it relates to the "Arcadia" part I guess. At any rate, I had far worse at doors than people who assumed I am an automaton.

 

[useless]

i have a low opinion of my self..
