I mean really. It's like walking back into a church you haven't been to in a few years. Lots of new faces, but lots of old ones, still, and most of the ones here are talking the same thing. Ah well. Anyway, hi you crazy kids! Just wanted to drop by. I might hang out for a few days, I dunno. I may only post this. If anyone sees Sam, give her a good lick for me, would you? Nothing sexual or anything, I just bet she'd taste good is all. Please Register or Log in to view the hidden image!
yes. Here I am. In the flesh. Er. Well, I'm online. So, JDawg, any worthwhile Atheist/Theist stuff going on? Have you locked all the evil theists away? Have you beaten the atheists into some form of making good sense, or are they all using the same boring arguments? Oh, and how is life, generally?
Well, I'm only recently back after a couple years off, so I can only speak to how things have been the last couple of months, but I'm seeing a lot less fundamentalism in the religion subfora. No more Sandy condemning everyone to hell while pretending her faith doesn't view her as chattel, no more Baron Max calling everyone a queer or arguing against gay rights because "that would be special treatment." That's been replaced largely by seekers, fringe Christians insisting upon an entirely metaphorical interpretation of the Bible, and, well, Jan. Shouldn't really need to explain that one, should I? At the core, though, the problems are the same: No understanding of the sciences, of atheism, or even of their own faith. But at least the window dressing is more interesting! Though I do miss staring a fundamentalist down every once in a while. There are less "bad" atheists now, as well. We're not entirely devoid of them, but they're in far less force. Sadly, the place is much more PC than I remember. Not even allowed to criticize Islam without a moderator calling you a bigot, or banning you for "bigotry."
Sir Hamfast! It's been boring as hell around here for a while!!! Sam hardly ever even comes around anymore. Haven't seen any of the other fun posters for ages either. Sux
My hours are different these days, and I never was much of a night forum stalker. Sam's not around? Damn. I wanted to profess my undying love again. Well, maybe not, but do something to irritate her/make her laugh. I'm almost afraid to post if things are that PC. You know me, I can be a bit extreme/loony.

I think that makes you old window dressing. Maybe it's a compliment? Please Register or Log in to view the hidden image!
How long does one have to hang around a site to be considered old, anyway? Is Gus still here? He's damn smart, just inclined to troll. *checks ban list*
I don't remember you. But in the time I've been here, it seems like the new posters come in waves with the tide. Then when the tide goes out only one or two new posters are left on the beach. I try to stay away from the religious type postings, because nothing ever ends. You can't just make your point then gracefully exit the thread.Please Register or Log in to view the hidden image! Also, it seems like most of the new posters have specific times they post, like mornings for about an hour or two, then maybe another hour around noonish time, then again late afternoon or early evening. It's best to start a new thread at these times or it may not get noticed no matter how interesting it might be.
