If you really came from the future, why would limit yourself to the internet?

Worldwatcher...I was thinking along the same line. Why would you come back to 2003 just to talk on an already outdated technology?! (IRC).

LOL! No, I don't believe the fable as anything more than a story. That said however, I can appreciate the genius it took to put the whole thing together (story, photos, etc...) and hold to that for months never wavering in the story or exposing yourself. Then to disappear and have people still debating years later? Having a legion of followers? Have certain parts of the story for the most part intact (meaning the story have not been 100% debunked by hundreds or thousands of people).
Anyone would have to admit. It took some smarts to do that.
As for your issue that Christianity wouldn't survive the scientific proof of multiple worldlines. How did it manage to survive the science of evolution? Hmmmm?
"It is contradicting the simple idea of the Bible etc... and that means God could never give commandments to anyone since every possible action HAS been done by YOU on another worldline. God can't judge you anymore, since you DID EVERYTHING in every possible situation."
You cannot believe in the possibility of multiple worldlines or "string" theory, but you will fully believe a book written by who-knows based fully on faith?
Well, Christianity seems to survive despite that pesky science stuff. All it takes is faith.
For millennia, people have debated what is the ratio of the perimeter to the diameter of a circle. On the one hand, the Bible clearly states that the first temple contained a circular structure with a perimeter of 30 cubits and a diameter of 10 cubits, giving an exact ratio of 3. On the other hand mathematicians blindly ignore this truth and claim that the result is closer to 3.14.
So God and science seem at odds on this...but both survive.
How about the fact that Greek fatalism, embodied in Aristotle's argument of De interpretatione 9, posed a special threat to Christian theology. Committed to the biblical doctrine of divine foreknowledge as well as to human freedom, Christian thinkers had to explain how it is either that God knows future contingents without future contingent propositions' being antecedently true or false or that God's knowing the truth value of such propositions does not after all entail fatalism. The problem of theological fatalism seemed especially acute since God's foreknowledge of some future event is itself a fact of past history and therefore temporally necessary; that is to say, it no longer has any potential to be otherwise. Therefore, what God foreknew must necessarily come to pass, since it is impossible that God's knowledge be mistaken.
More science versus the bible.

I see myself as a christian. I'm certainly not an atheist, I'm not a Buddhist, though I do partake in their values, I'm not Islamic, or Jewish, or Hindu, or Shinto, I'm Christian. I believe that 1 being of extreme power, perhaps that amount would be absolute, who created existence itself at some point in the past.
He didn't speak to any of us, and he doesn't intervene. Jesus was an interesting man who had some paranormal powers, but he wasn't actually God's son. God set up laws for the universe to follow, with equations that produced some astounding beauty (Phi, anyone?) and then he let it play out like a movie.
I'm still a Christian.
Like I've said to you before, blam. After you're black and white, polarized world collapses a few more times, you'll start seeing the millions of shades of grey.
Also to blam: Just because the government is new, doesn't mean Area 51 and all other top-secret bases are instantly revealed to the world. As has been demonstrated by both John and Alex, the politics of Secrecy still prevail.
The time travel missions are classified, and the information about 'aliens' etc... would be too. Funny though, I thought of the Area 51 being open while walking home..
