So far...

I take offense at you referring to someone as a female as if that were some sort of insult.

Why can't we just talk about the OP

He needs to stop acting like a bitch. Sorry.

Perhaps you shouldn't be so biased with my posting history. Take a deeper look.

Let me propose a few ways to go forward. Either you can pull off that skirt you're wearing and be a big boy so we can be civil toward each other, or you could make use of your ignore list. I'm not the one with the problem here. I'm not the one going out my way to piss the other guy off everywhere I go. So what's it gonna be?

Great, you're capable of being thoughtful. Wonderful. I never said that wasn't the case. My experience with every "BlackMason" post I've seen is that you're being a smug, intractable jackass to someone. That being said I'm not going around looking for your posts, and I certainly don't follow you around heckling all the while. Two instances a paradigm does not make.

If you're looking for the typical pattern; I'm civil to mostly everyone on the forum, save our resident gaggle of dickbags; which includes fundies, trolls, and all assholes alike. I treat most threads as clean slates, save for instances where it calls for outside referral. So if I'm being hostile, or poking a jab, to/at anyone on the forum it's because they've either damn well earned it or they're being particularly stupid at that moment in time.

Master Yoda has forgotten to take his own advice. I say this because there are a couple threads where I got my battle gear on and you've seen those and formed a paradigm on that.

This is a contradiction because your passive aggressive post in my date thread suggests otherwise. Look man whatever. I'm good if you're good.

Seeing as I haven't really given your posts my attention, fair is fair, I can grant that.

Eh, you kinda earned that one mate. You were laying it on a little too thick there, but let's just let that go.

Fine by me, I took a potshot at your post and you came out both guns blazing, we're both at fault. Forum shit happens.

Hey, don't mind me! I'm enjoying the show . Any minute now they're going to reach the the "yo mama" stage of the Flame war

Don't you dare start with that "we're both at fault" shit . Next thing you know you two will start bonding and hugging and realizing it was all just a misunderstanding. And where's the fun in that?

Guys. I'm trying to enjoy this thread. Go to the boxing ring or something. Do we have a boxing ring here? I don't know. I'm sure there's a nice place where you can take this fight.

The R'lyeh. You could ask a mod to split it and move it over there I guess. Would be more fitting if it's just an argument now. I can be bothered to read it myself.

N-- no advantage to experiencing reality? *shakes head

Everybody experiences reality unless they're in a coma or have mental problems.

Not true. If I think I can fly because my ACME book says I can, and I live my physical life thinking I can fly by myself-- that's not experiencing reality, is it?

How do we know what's reality? Well, I know that thanks to physics, biology, mathematics, and aeronautics (confirmable evidence) that the human body can't fly.

Atheism sucks big hairy balls. Sorry, but it does. Personal view only you understand.

Been a few months now and so far I got zero payoff. Squat. Diddly. I preferred my comfortable lie to this ugly truth, but having unplugged, I now can't plug myself back in or unthink what I thought.

I can't even have fun debating with christians because I would not want them to lose what I lost!

I think I'm going through the kuber Ross model for Yahweh and I'm stuck on anger.

That was my feeling for a while. Fortunately, I no longer feel loss but tremendous gain. Just curious, what sucks about it? Now you're capable of studying religion, and a large part of human activity, from a secular--that is, scientific-- standpoint, and perhaps understand it better; what drives belief, what drives THESE beliefs, how can people free themselves of the unnecessary burden that is Christianity, etc. Sure, there's no "payoff" comparable to the lies religion fills empty heads with. There's nothing particularly rewarding about embracing reality as the shit hole that it largely is, except that now you can be part of the solution in discouraging one of its most virulent aspects. You can be one of the people leaving a better place for humanity than you found it, in part because you see what a strong delusion currently captures and distracts the average Joe's attention, and perhaps break that spell for the poor saps it rules over.
