Kudos points mean nothing.

Rep points, of which you have very few, however are the the be all and end all. If life had a meaning, which it doesn't, rep points would be it.

Never said it was about ME - I was just putting myself in Padraic or many other atheist's shoes, and speaking from that perspective - as people do all the time.

Neither was what I said bizarre in any way, shape, or form to a likeminded person, Because you said ...

Quote:Seriously though, isnt my theory more optimistic than some of the darker alternatives?

... you were asking if somehow turning into a deluded happy clapper is a better alternative than being seriously ill or dead? I told you I would rather be dead.

Or in other words, fuck off because you have insulted my intelligence.
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.

Yeah, we set it up so we could mock the people who take it way too seriously. It's a fun sport.

Guys... I don't think he's being super-serious. It's just the kudos system and we have tons of rep whores here. It's all good fun.

He's been doing it since his first week here. Trust me. He's serious and annoyingly persistent about it. I make fun of rep whores too. Anyone who takes that shit seriously needs a break from the net.

There's a score board?

You have flying monkeys?

Shit, no one tells me anything.

Sure would like me some flying monkeys though.

It cuts down on the number of "Yeah!" and "I agree" and "You da man!" posts ( or conversely, the "Fuck off!" ) posts which can draw a thread out for an extra 3 pages.
