Dude! When one has been stuck at fifteen for two or three months, one starts to take it personally. I'm beginning to think whoring would be more useful than mere posting... at least for me :p

Dead wrong.  The actions of a finite being measured against an infinite one are infinitesimal and therefore merit infinitesimal punishment.

Quote:Some people deserve hell.

I say again:  No exceptions.  Punishment should be equal to the crime, not in excess of it.  As soon as the punishment is greater than the crime, the punisher is in the wrong.

Useful AND fun replies. Now THAT's a good forum (whore enough for ya?).

Is there a thread somewhere on Rayaan's story? Searching him has not been useful. Once my curiosity gets going, it's hard to contain.

OK- I'm going to test this stuff out. I was going to ask about how to find out about kudos until I saw a big "my kudos" link at the top of the page, and figured that might be useful. Thanks, all, for dragging me closer to internet civilization and civility.

His story is more than any of us can handle, so he had to take it down. He replaced it with a post that read "I liek puppies." Sometimes you have no choice but to condescend. And we love him for it.
"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."

-Stephen Jay Gould

I assume you're talking about the story about me becoming a staff here since you asked that earlier. So, here are two threads that illuminate that story:

But I WAS wondering that. I've been reading through the threads Rayaan provided, but I'm still not sure why any theist would want to spend so much time here unless it's to argue, which Rayaan doesn't seem inclined to.

The amount of kudos I got for that post reflects the level of respect Rayaan has around here. As of today it's the 5th most kudosed post of all time: http://atheistforums.org/topposts.php

LOL sorry new girl Tongue Yay! Add her to the list of non sausages! lol

All I know is I likes Ryaan. And that these forums are the best I've found in terms of moderation that retains argumentative order. Whenever I do get some money, I'ma donate for sureSmile
