Title: Cricket, cricket....

Boy it sure has been quiet in here lately! We need a streaker or something to pep things up.

Onlyme leaves and things get quiet which is nice.  It seems like an athiest board without an outspoken hardline christian is like a NASCAR race without wrecks, everybody just keeps driving their cars around the track in an orderly fashion for 500 miles ...boooorrriiiinnng.  I think we're all waiting for a crash.

Hey I have that crazy Assembly of God friend.....she's way more entertaining than onlyme. However laet and others have reservations (myself semi-included in that) and she may go ballistic and start shooting non-christians left in right in a 12 hour shooting-spree that will involve a high speed chase. I mean she reacts crazily when I calmly engage her in conversation, imagine with all of use heathens in one place.

Yeah...the problem is...it does atheists no good to listen to christian loons and it does christians no good to listen to atheist loons.  We need to steer clear of fundies on both sides.  None of us need the added grief and spike in our blood pressure.

I don't know, she'd be quite fun to listen to. Not to mention she might feel all warm inside for spreading Jebus babble around.

WHAT THE HELL ARE YOU, ip? Are you an atheist or a christian? ANSWER ME!!!!!

Oh, yes they call him the streak...don't look Ethel!   :lol:


I'm enjoying the peace and quiet.  I think we all needed a break after dealing with onlyme.  Eventually we'll need some conversation starters.  Weren't we supposed to have a weekly topic in the philosophy forum?

For now, enjoy the silence.

We did and no one participated.

I still think Big M should invite her. :)
But Laetus doesn't. And it is, after all, her forum.

You seriously want to have to put up with that type of stupidity?

Eh, it's good to get your blood boiling every once in a while.
I find her robotic following fascinating. In a morbid way.

I honestly think he should send her to WWGHA, though. There are, after all, already a bunch of crazies.

I think we were all frightened by your condemnation of people who haven't had time to read all the philosophy. I didn't comment because of that.

Court:

Frightened of me?  I doubt that of you especially.



BTW...we condemn and decry people for being uneducated and stupid here all the time, this thread is a good example.  I just don't want to have to debate about Aquinan philosophy if people won't take the time to read the texts first, that's all.

WDGHA...what an interesting place that is.  I spent lots of time on that board when it first opened when people were actually friendly.  The lunatics have definitely gained control of the assylum over there...it's bad PR for atheists in my opinion.

I think WWGHA would be a better forum for her just because she wouldn't be as outnumbered with people like wisdom and WTR around to look even more crazy.

I agree. I just didn't even visit that thread because I didn't want to crossed on something I haven't had time to thoroughly cover. I think many people aren't too versed and probably didn't want to be thrashed about it. I'm not blaming you, certainly, just saying that is probably why that thread died.

I think having a weekly discussion is a good idea.  Maybe we are ready to try again with a new topic.

I'm about to post round four of me and her crazy discussion. I really am thinking that inviting her would be a hoot. She'll give up before we do, and nothing builds unity like adversity.

Things have been way too quiet around here lately and I aim to change that!  

Usually I post all the stuff I find to another forum (which shall remain nameless) but in order to get this forum off it's ass, I shall post here in greater quantity.  Please help me revive this forum.  

It's a good little forum.  All it needs is a little love.

I'm so glad you got that Charlie Brown reference!
