A need for change?
I've been thinking.

which is dangerous..

anyway. I don't like my AIM name. In my eyes it's the last remaining trace of the period when I was "Deus Ex Machina". I actually love that name. It's original-ish.. though there were enough of them on AIM for the "92" to be necessary.

BAck to the point- it's not the name I don't like, it's the point behind it. Mitch said he thought it was ironic because to him it means "God comes from Society". To me it's vaguely ironic because it means "God from Machine". But it's bitterly foul to me because it means "an unexpected solution to a seemingly unsolvable problem". Now, it may be the case that God wishes to use me in that way. But I am NOT the solution, I am merely his representative.

When I picked that name I had no objections due to my lack of faith. I thought it was cool. I thought I was cool. Now I think it doesn't matter if I'm cool- there are more important things. I'm already justified by god- I could have an AIM name that everyone would make fun of, and still I am justified by God. I don't need a name to do that for me.

There is only one Deus Ex Machina, and it's not me.

Well.. what do you guys think?..
DeusExMachina92- stay, or go?
