That's your opinion, and you're welcome to it. I also don't care how many names you call Donald Trump. But this..... .......is offensive and unnecessary. The blurb that goes with this board asks people to be tolerant and respectful of those with different beliefs, and I have been. I've never condemned anyone for being an atheist or told anyone that atheism was stupid or blamed all of the world's ills on atheism. You, on the other hand, have not been tolerant and respectful, and your behavior proves it. And after all this time, I'd still like to see it stopped, and I'm going to do everything within my ability to get it stopped. And if some don't like it because all the "fun" has gone out of the board, then good. There are plenty of other places on the Internet where you can post your hateful garbage. You don't need to bring it here. What a loving, compassionate Christian thing to say. No, it was just calling something exactly what it is. Go on, keep playing the victim card. It's not exactly original, in case you didn't know. Several of you have done it many times in years past.

Yes, but you're not living and letting live, and you're certainly not here for discussion. You're spewing negative propaganda on people who don't want it. You should take it to a more appropriate forum where individuals like you won't annoy anyone who is here for discussion. You're not here for discussion, either. Your behavior proves it. Don't waste your time, this clown actually believes the shit he peddles, the only one buying it are him and his girlfriend, and I notice she does not weigh in on this kind of conversation. When even your partner abandons you, you know you have issues.

Any progress on the house-hunting endeavor?

Any progress on the house-hunting endeavor? Not bad, finally getting some movement today, got a house I like, so lets see what happens, turns out I am now in the second worst city to buy in terms of income to price ratio, but only cos another city in this country got worse. It's way more stressful than I thought it would be. Kind of exasperates the feeling of doing it all alone sadly, but I might be able to get a cat from my previous life so there is that. Yeah, the effort taken to address erdumb is beyond the value of what you get, I realise I am a big culprit in terms of encouraging him, but even my patience has worn thin. Stupid is as stupid does. EDIT: I just about called him out on his shameless lie about how he treats atheists, but the ensuing denial and bull shit I would get are just not worth it, perhaps the humans of the board can decide.

RE edit, I'd let it go, let him stew in his own juices. When I bought my house, 30+ years ago, I vowed I would never go through that again. Major pain in the arse. If it burned down, I would probably just camp on the property.

I notice the idiot just made a thread to try and pretend he wants to have actual discussions. I bet $10 wired to you that it either degenerates into his normal insults when people he does not like respond, or it turns into a circle jerk when the people he deems intellectuals respond in their own special way. I actually hope people ignore him and his moron friends for a while.

If I get the cat from my old life, I will get a kitten as well, happy day ! I hope this works, it's gonna be a stretch financially, but if it works. the house has a half deck where there was a pool, so that might be next summer's project

And to be fair it's the kiwi way, there will no doubt be a weekend building project with a couple of my mates and a bunch of beers when I want a deck It's nice to to say, I built this.

You are just as culpable. Leave me out of your nonsense. The same applies in our conversations, leave out ErJen. Guess, we are two distinctly different people.

An unlisted reason - politics in the USA right now are more problematic than religion is. I always thought that if humans could deal with the reality of existence without the crutch and divisiveness of religion, humanity might have a chance to advance to a higher quality of life. But the lunatic wild card in the White House has presented us with more divisiveness and a more volatile environment. So I am more concerned about the dangers of political strife, which encompasses religion to a degree. So the politics board has become of more concern. Edit: Additionally, the adversarial attitudes presented by both theists and atheists. What if there was a thread just for theists, so they as a group could talk about why they like religion, and a thread just for atheists, so they as a group could talk about why they like atheism? Everyone would be adults and not cross the lines to attack the other. There are plenty of other threads for that. Thoughts? I don't think separate boards or threads works, often I find I learn more about how I think when challenged by someone who fundamentally disagrees with me. This times a million. It was reading/listening the debates between atheists and theists that played a huge part in forming my own beliefs for many years. The best way to get to any truth, even if it's your own personal beliefs, is to relentlessly put them to the test. I'm reminded of Yudkowsky's Twelve Virtues of Rationality (especially two and five):

Vegas, can you go into more detail about why you think the board has been killed? Thanks in advance. That's what the polls for. Do I really think this board is dead dead? Well... One of the answers that I placed is THIS BOARD AIN'T DEAD. That's still an option.

gadreelI am a mere passer by upon this board and I read and liked something that you said and have borrowed stolen it (slightly altered)for my signature. Hope you don't mind. It can be erased if such thievery is not condoned.
