Please consider that, on my side, not all attached images or video could be seen, as it is the case with the last one you uploaded or perhaps you posted its link.

It's just a picture of Homer Simpson saying one of his most memorable lines.

I really hope you're not a sock... basically a sleeper cell of the artist formerly known as End of Atheism (et al)... because you actually seem quite nice. So till that's resolved I'm keeping you at arm's length. But if the word is what is what I think it is, it's ironic because it's exactly what's lacking here.

Signed up in 2017.  There are several suddenly who are old, old names.  All those missing socks seem to be here.  No need to look in your washer or dryer for them.

Yeah, that's what I figure, but I just hope I'm wrong. I have been wrong about these sorts of things before, and on this side of the fence (ie as a non-admin) it's easy to read too much into things like coincidences.

Let me correct your misunderstanding. Nobody is teasing you. We simply don't want to be spoonfed your bullshit. We want to spoonfeed it to ourselves even less. So if you aren't going to make a point kindly sod all the way off.

You surprised me really because from all what I said in this thread, you saw just my last 'two words' and you didn't even notice what I posted after them (). The latter means, in real life between friends (not necessarily very close friends) that I am kidding, otherwise I didn't need to add anything.
 
For instance, this misunderstanding happened with other members too. The problem is that I, being a totally independent man, likes to see every person I meet as being a possible good friend even if he likes sometimes to be somehow rude in his comments for his self-satisfaction. 
 
Perhaps I missed (or refuse to see) that, on the other side of the world, most people had no choice but to be dependent ones and have, therefore, no right to expect friendship with any stranger (mainly if his name is Kerim, worse if Abdul Karim  ) Anyway, I used thinking that, in general, atheists have more chance to be freer and more loving than theists are (including Christians). For instance, to most Christians loving others is commanded by God (commanded as in the army), while it is to an atheist a  personal matter related to his own free-will only.

She lived with him, and both knew how to help each other and be happy. But, at the same time, she hoped, deep in herself, that, someday, they will be able to be one for life, by marriage. A marriage, anywhere on earth, is based on a contract which has to be confirmed by a third party representing a certain authority, civil or religious (or, on the sea, by the captain of a ship ).

On the other hand, the real friendship which could exist between two humans, also for life, doesn't need being approved by any authority (a third party).

If we exclude chemicals, the 'thing' that should exist in real friendship and may not exist in marriage, is the missing word here that you all know, but you insist not to say it to tease me

Your obviously searching for the word "love," but you couldn't be more wrong. It's entirely possible to have friends you do not love, just as it's possible to love someone you don't particularly like.

Thousands, even tens of thousands, of people will imprint on your life. Some positively, some negatively, some indifferently. Within those who imprint positively, there is a spectrum we call friends. Some are friends for life, others for a season, and a goodly chunk are people we are merely friendly with. To claim that love is the defining characteristic of all friendships is certified USDA Grade A bullshit.

I am very Sorry
It is not the word 'love'. Love could have many different meanings. The missing word is a practical one and cannot have more than one meaning

I noticed that there is 1 hour left only before the missing mysterious word that all of you know will be revealed.
It is formed by 5 letters only
Guessing it now shouldn't be hard.

You don't have to believe me. I sometimes have a doubt to how long I can still be so.

If you read my posts, you would hear me say that I don't need to follow even my own pre-programmed instincts of survival, superiority, selfishness and of applying a certain justice on others.

Am I the only one like this? I guess not.
Jesus too (being real or not) on the Gospel is also a totally independent person,

Did Jesus defend himself or run away before his crucifixion?
Did he show up as a VIP or an important master looking for servants under his commands (as in the army)?
Was he selfish in whatever he did?
Did he judge and/or condemn anyone in the name of any justice?

I mean since the nature of your being doesn't allow you to believe that a character as of Jesus could be real, I am afraid that you have no choice but to laugh at me too

Sorry, do you ask me really to leave?
I have no reason not to respect your will since you seem owning this forum... right?
