How did you become an atheist?
RE: How did you become an atheist?
I wouldn't mind it if it was sexual, it's the fact that you seem to seriously think it that bothers me. If this was fantasy it wouldn't be so bad, sexual or otherwise... (Although obviously don't say anything explicitly sexual outside of A69)... it's the fact that you seriously seem to think you're so superior when you seem so demonstrably mediocre (and when people who feel the need to brag like that are usually far from superior to those that don't feel that need) that bothers me.

If you could say something that would cause me to admire you, that could only be a good thing because if that actually happened there would almost certainly be a good reason for it, I don't think I tend to admire people who aren't admirable.

But of course you make a false dichotomy when you think that that would make us equals, whether you said some things that made me admire you or not, we are still equals. Although I still think you need to be less of an asshole so if there is anything truly admirable about me that remember you're not the only person with admirable qualities. So far I mostly see reprehensible qualities in you though, in all honesty.

EP, what evidence do you have that you're smarter than other people?

Evie, you're provoking me to raise my game, but I know it's not something I like to deal with after the fact, so I won't budge.

None. I'm dumb as fuck.

I disagree, you're not dumb as fuck but you're certainly nowhere near as superior in intellect as you would like to have people believe. And telling others that you are superior is only something someone without a superior intellect would need to do. If you were really that smart you wouldn't feel the need to tell people.

Ok, I'm nowhere near as superior in intellect as I would like to have people believe.

Well I don't know why. Apparently it would cause me to admire you, according to you. But you also say that it would humiliate me. I certainly cannot feel the intense emotional pain of humiliation and the intense emotional pleasure of admiration at the same time, so you're at least wrong on one of those counts... but I strongly suspect that you are wrong on both.

It's the last thing I want. We already, as a society, have to deal with this kind of excuse for remaining ignorant, and it's a huge problem.

Hey it doesn't work when I've already given you the idea... and you also seem incapable of resisting putting a winky face, suggesting that you still somewhat feel the need to tell people that you're superior in intellect, because you can't even say it without adding a winky face!

Your ego is so sensitive that this is one of the reasons that when you said you pity me I think that I surely pity you more than you do me. I would never ever ever trade places with you.
