Quote from: harte.beest on May 13, 2012, 05:35:54 AMPhew!!! Just finished posting in all the threads you listed, tried reading some, but a few are very long. I did not post in the last one, because I wish to file a FORMAL PROTEST: You cannot have a discussion with those who do not listen. (hence the upcoming genocide)

A "FORMAL PROTEST," eh? Fine. In turn, I will offer you a piece of advice: Your continued mention of "killing" and "genocide" is not funny, and if you persist in it, you will find that your time here will become rather problematic. I suggest you find some other way to get your jollies.

Endorsed.

Hopefully you'll get the feel of the forum relatively soon.

No killing or genocide, thank you.  However I do have this sneaky longing for slapstick protests, like filling the pope's hat with custard or putting whooppee cushions under a bishop's kneeler.  Personally, I would be happy if harte.beest would undertake this sort of mission.

My troll senses are tingling.  ::)

Yes, but unless a troll, however flagrant and transparent,  says " I am a troll" then you musn't cast such dreadful aspersions on him/ her.

Yes I'm kidding... of course I am.... ;).... killing innocent christian children c'mon who would do that ::)??

57102. I chose it for no reason other than it being the model number for the iRobot Roomba Robotic Vacuum. Those things are sweet.  :D

And I figured since you wanted to be in some kinda army, a robot army would be cool. ;) They can amass together AND clean your rug all at once!

i could really do with one of those to fight the battle of my toddlers! a robot/hoover army is the only way to keep my house clean lol.

To clarify. You don't need to post in all those threads. And you don't need to try and get to ten posts by racking up junk posts. If you do, your count will be reset and or you will be issued a warning from the moderating staff.

I also don't find the humor in your posts so far, with regard to your talk of murder and genocide. Perhaps you would think about posting more appropriately.

"One of the saddest lessons of history is this: If we've been bamboozled long enough, we tend to reject any evidence of the bamboozle. We're no longer interested in finding out the truth. The bamboozle has captured us. it is simply too painful to acknowledge -- even to ourselves -- that we've been so credulous. (So the old bamboozles tend to persist as the new bamboozles rise.) "

Uhhhh, I'm pretty sure you're allowed to discuss anything. Besides genocide. And if that's what you're looking to chat about via PM, I think I'll just stick to this nice public forum, thanks.

There is no rule against discussing serious subjects such as genocide in the appropriate sections of this forum. What has been discouraged is a fatuous attempt at "humor" using murder and/or genocide committed by atheists as its base.

Yes, that's what I meant, sorry.

In the Atheist/Theist battle of ideas theists can use the aggressive angry approach of some atheists against us.

Look at those grumpy unhappy atheists.  We don't want to be like them do we my sheepy friends?  No, baaah, grumpy bad baaaah happy good baaaah.   Green=Pudding the theist shepherd mode.

I think it is the feeling of some here that we should avoid giving them such a weapon to use against us.
Others are repulsed by religion's ugly murderous past and reject associating us with such a thing, even in jest.
