I resent that, it infers we are disingenuous.
I for one started posting useless dribble and have continued to consistently do so.

I hope so (had to ask ;) ). It's just what Egor himself said about signing into forums as if he was an atheist ::)



I'm 66.6% sure one of you are Egor, just trying to narrow it down... >.<

If you want to be fallaciously certain, I can tell you that it isn't me and you'll be 100% sure that it's BooksCatsEtc ;)

I've reached an epiphany. I'm going to assume that any trollish person posting is Egor. :-\

Damn!  Now I have to learn how to cross my legs with inconvenient plumbing.

Yes, more like. My detection abilities have become rather unrefined these days, I can't even tell a Poe from a non-Poe anymore. ::)

Back on topic please folks.

I'm not really sure what the topic is. 

Was the OP's father an atheist?  Only the OP's father knew that and he's dead so he can no longer be asked. 

Is the OP an atheist?  Only the OP knows that and it seems a rather simple question for him to answer -- believes in gods, then no; doesn't believe in gods, then yes.

Are there death-bed conversions from atheism to theism/deism?  Possibly, but none of us have had any experience of it second-hand (and obviously not first-hand).

Assuming the OP is not a drive-by poster, I'd really like to have those poll choices explained because I don't know what in the world they're supposed to mean.

Exactly, and there is no point in guessing.

I'm thinking OP is in fact a drive-by-poster. He hasn't logged in since the day he posted this. I imagine if this question was burning at him for three years, and he finally got the courage to ask it, he would have checked in on this thread by now and clarified his poll answers.

Does that mean we can go back to posting dribble?  Or are we required to keep sussing out whether or not the OP's father was an atheist?  I say we hold a seance and ask him.  Oh Ghost of OP's Father....hear me from beyond the veil of the grave (I'm talking in a spooky voice now, hold hands if you're frightened.)  Ghost of OP's Father (henceforth to be known as GOPF, because I'm tired of typing that phrase) please reveal to us your secrets!  Knock once for yes if you were an atheist!  Knock twice for no, if you were not an atheist.  Do not knock at all if it turns out that this poster has no intention of ever returning to the forum.  We await your answer with bated breath, oh GOPF.

I think you answered your own question.  :D

If he was an atheist, it's not like he'd have a soul that would turn him into a ghost we could consult with.

Yeah, I may be judging prematurely, but it looks like this poster is a troll, just stopping by quick enough to post a question we can't answer and not logging in again to answer our posts. ???

Eh, it's been less than 48 hours. I think we have to remember that not everyone's as addicted to HAF as they OUGHT to be. Like us.  :D

Right. :-\ That's reality hiting me smack in the face.

Okay, I'll wait and see.
