I've been perusing Holding's site, and have been quite
amused.  I kept thinking, "If I'm ever a xtian again, I'll
come back here, because I just dig the goofy pictures
and all the neat phrases he uses."  Just fascinating.

I read a page called, "Answering the Chicken Challenge
Arresting a Hit and Run from an Multiply-Named Skeptic"
He seems to think "Adnan" is the multi-named skeptic.
(Wether this is true or not, I don't care...it is between the
skeptic and Mr. Holding.  BUT, I do have some questions
pertaining to this article.  For one...hasn't Till made many
attempts to engage Holding in open debate, only to have
Holding ignore his requests?  Also...Hasn't Holding
himself conversed with Till under the name "Turkel".
Wouldn't this seem to take some of the wind out of
the sails fo the point he was trying to make in this article?
