Heya, welcome! Thanks for sharing your story Smile I found it interesting. People come to atheism for all kinds of reasons, but very often it is the point you describe when you look more deeply for justification and can't find it.

Enjoy the forum!

Thanks a lot, everyone! I really feel welcomed.

Though there is that:
Please welcome new members to the community in a nice manner, or refrain from welcoming them at all.

Thinking

Jk.

welcome.
Also FWIW, atheists, the world over, know pretty much everything about diesel powered rock crushing equipment. The 2 go hand in hand.

I really love this forum, so far.  

I hope nobody would mind me redirecting people here, from all over the internet, as often as I can.

I'm not sure I got the joke, would you care to explain it? Shy

I doubt anyone would object to directing people here! Smile

The rock crusher has become a forum joke, it started when some guy turned up and started spamming a load of crap about efficient rock crushing techniques. It's turned into a way to trolls trolls, to spam their spam with rock crushing. You'll get the idea Wink

Ok, but what was the point of the joke in this particular case? Did ignoramus think I was some kind of spammer/troll? Or did he simply want to introduce the concept to me?

A JOKE?!?!

Something tells me you don't take rock crushing seriously, Rob

Nah, we also just say it randomly. I can see how that could be weird! There's not really much to get, it's just very low brow humour Wink Yeah I think he wanted to get you accustomed to our ways! He meant no offense, I'm sure. We talk an awful lot of crap.

Quick, someone show him one of the diagrams! It might become clear then.

Vic: ahem, sorry! Of course I take it seriously. I'm a devout believer in the efficiency of the horizontal crushing method. Or was it the vertical one? One of those.
