Nathan ????? - Page 2

He caught me on AIM awhile back... I think in March... it was an interesting conversation to say the least.

He hates Christians. Thinks we're all stupid and blind. Anyone who believes in God in any way, shape or form is lumped into that.

He didn't handle the disappointments in his life all that well. He let them make him bitter, instead of better.

Keep praying for him.

Nathan was always very kind in our communications but after a lapse of contact I found out that this was his position from someone and at the time I just didn't have the energy or stamina to try and correspond with someone in that frame of mind. I still pray for him. There is always hope but it is very difficult when one has crossed the bridges he has. He is not just in sin but apparently has renounced God, Christianity ,etc.

He was involved in more than what he went to prison for and the things he was involved in clearly showed no moral compass or at least a conscience that had been seared.

No, he didn't have to serve the entire sentence. He got out this past February.

His myspace page is http://www.myspace.com/dionysian_

Beware: it's not for the faint of heart. The language can get pretty raw at times. Put it this way, his stepmother has seen it and has threatened to kill anyone who tells Nathan's dad about it...he has heart problems and this will surely put him over the edge.

Hope this answers your questions.

Well, I don't know the kid or anything about him other than what I have read here, but after viewing his MySpace page, it appears as if his ego is doing fine. Not to be ugly, but when somebody needs to try that hard to come across as cool, I instantly suspect that they are not so much.

Nathan and I sparred a lot on FCF, but had a cordial relationship and often communicated via PM.

I am deeply saddened to hear of his condition.

I wasn't trying to make light of the situation, I really don't know anything about him or what has gone on in his life, and of course I would pray for anyone in his condition. I was just commenting on what I had observed on his MySpace, and what came across to me was arrogance. But realizing that people on here have had relationships with him, I should probably not have commented on it. I apologize if I came off as insensitive.

Last contact I had with Nathan he was exploring universal reconciliation and what heaven and hell meant. This was just before his troubles with the law.

How anyone can hold a bitter old curmudgeon like Nietzsche in such high regard is beyond me. I've unfortunately seen more than one example of someone raised in an exclusive religious system with an insular view of education who when finally introduced to the reality of critical thinking was sent for a loop.

God have mercy on us for not recognizing the real battleground of this unbelieving world.

May God guide his heart back to faith in him.

Amen to that.

I didn't mean to blame anyone for his condition.

I think some tough love could have possibly helped, but any time that was tried, there were some dear ladies that ran to his rescue.

Some of us close to him tried that... didn't work.

Bro... if you only knew how many phone conversations we had... and how much was shared... Just because some of us liberals are liberals doesn't mean we don't know how to deal with things... and use pillows for tough love.

Me and Nathan used to write letters pretty regularly but I stopped getting them.I didn't know exactly what had happened.
I sincerly hope my friend finds calvary real once again.
