Just big ole snooty non-empathetic dickholes when it comes to the Theists on the site. That minimalist guy is clearly a terrible human being. I am not that. I am indifferent, not malicious. My purpose here in 'using' you people is just to hear opinions, and bounce ideas off people. Which works out well, because that seems to be the purpose of this site existing. So I don't think I need to shroud my motivations in secrecy. You've overstated my maliciousness a few times (or maybe I'm misattributing someone else's statements to you). Maybe you are hung up on my willingness to kill and eat Rhythms family in a post apocalyptic kill or be killed scenario. I think, behavior wise, I'm fairly in line with most, I just talk/think about it a lot differently. As for calling someone a terrible human being, the standard exists. My interest in letting the standard dictate my behavior doesn't change the existing of the standard. You guys have your community here, and maybe he's the loveable racist grandma character of the forum. I dunno why people seem okay with his over-the-top rage and hatefulness.

It's only when I do it that people instantly develop urgent appointments.
At the age of five, Skagra decided emphatically that God did not exist. This revelation tends to make most people in the universe who have it react in one of two ways - with relief or with despair. Only Skagra responded to it by thinking, 'Wait a second. That means there's a situation vacant.'

Perhaps if you read closer you wouldn't draw these inapt conclusions? Somehow, you, a person who admits to not understanding the way societies view and implement morals, a person who admits to not caring about anyone other than the select group of people he chooses to care about (mostly because he's lazy), calling someone a terrible human being has no impact at all.

"Well, evolution is a theory. It is also a fact. And facts and theories are different things, not rungs in a hierarchy of increasing certainty. Facts are the world's data. Theories are structures of ideas that explain and interpret facts. Facts don't go away when scientists debate rival theories to explain them. Einstein's theory of gravitation replaced Newton's in this century, but apples didn't suspend themselves in midair, pending the outcome. And humans evolved from ape- like ancestors whether they did so by Darwin's proposed mechanism or by some other yet to be discovered."

Maybe you are hung up on my willingness to kill and eat Rhythms family in a post apocalyptic kill or be killed scenario. I think, behavior wise, I'm fairly in line with most, I just talk/think about it a lot differently. For sure, my calling someone a terrible human being has no impact. Nothing is important because I say it. The only thing that would make it relevant is its accuracy. RE: Why be good?

Here's another one then, you're kind of fascinating
What makes you care about your son? What makes you have empathy for him, and not for others do you think? Feel free to send me a private message.
