Welcome new guy. From what part of our sceptred isle do you hail, simulated or otherwise?
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.'

West Midlands, me. The beating heart of the Black Country.

Welcome, Markos! I do sometimes wonder if we're actually living in a computer-simulated sit com...
Big Bang Theory. Wait a sec, I'll get Sheldon.

Yeah, right...
You are currently experiencing a lucky and very brief window of awareness, sandwiched in between two periods of timeless and utter nothingness. So why not make the most of it, and stop wasting your life away trying to convince other people that there is something else? The reality is obvious.

I was in no way trying to argue against anything you said (what was there to argue with - you were simply describing your stance) and certainly wasn't trying to get some kind of reaction out of you. I'm simply interested in what your views are, as part of getting to know you in a small way. Obviously I need to be a bit more careful in how I express myself, so sorry once again. Don't apologise, Phil is just being his usual argumentative self. You were quite correct; Phil's explanation of "polyatheist" was pretty terrible, and didn't really explain anything. I personally think the term "polyatheist" is ridiculous, since "atheist" already covers all types of God. Anyway, welcome to the forums, most of us are nice to talk to. Feel free to ignore the others.
Phil: take a course in basic logic; saying you disbelieve in many gods does not necessarily mean you disbelieve in them all. Also, attitude...cut it.

If we are then the guy who programmed the computer simulation was either really bad at programming or a sadistic bastard.
