That would amount about 0.25 cents a month. We could be swimming in money if we are talking about the spammers.

1/4 cent is about 7/40 of a penny in proper money. I don't think any of us are getting rich any time soon.
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.'

That's pretty complicated, though. Couldn't you just have perma-banned him for asking for a temp ban? That would have provided almost the same amount of laughs, but with far less effort. Efficiency, guys! Efficiency!
"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."

Where's the sport in that? I like my quarry to move.

Ohhhhh no wonder he got banned, he was literally asking for it!
Good to know you guys acquiesce requests for the theists as well as the atheists. I seem to remember starting a thread about warnings and why I don't have any in my early days--got myself temp banned (for pushing the porn rules limits).
Note to futurites: watch out what you ask for.. You'll get way more than you bargained for, even if you're a cute little bunny.
If I were to create self aware beings knowing fully what they would do in their lifetimes, I sure wouldn't create a HELL for the majority of them to live in infinitely! That's not Love, that's
sadistic. Therefore a truly loving god
does not exist!
Quote:The sin is against an infinite being (God) unforgiven infinitely, therefore the punishment is infinite.
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.
