Kaninchen! Welcome to the Dark Side!
The fireworks haven't started, yet, so you're just in time.
Had some problems with mods lately, have you? Well, it's about damn time.
But don't worry, K, in this forum, you have home field advantage. Everyone will love you here. See, you already got kudos. I'll give you one, too. They taste great, and they have zero calories. (How symbolic is that?)
And we can finally speak our minds without restraint. Should be a hoot!
One other thing, I know that your specialty is the snarky one-liner post devoid of actual content, but seriously, try to interact with the arguments and facts being presented and not argue to the man (as above).
You may find it gets easier after you've done it once or twice.

Oh do shut up Randy will you? Your repeated sniping at everything about this forum is becoming tiresome. In reality, whilst nobody here seems to like you too much (reasons for that aside), there equally is nobody trying to shut you down or censor your views. We just aren't convinced by them. I'm sure Kaninchen holds several views that people will also disagree with, but the reason s/he gets kudos is because s/he isn't an insufferable ass about it (& I can tell that after just 6 posts). And to be clear, being an insufferable ass is not against the rules either, but please don't make us all crack out the violin every time you post some absurd assertion and get the predictable results.
Welcome to the forum Kaninchen.

Why is it so important to you that everyone agrees with you I wonder?
I bet you are used to debating other Christians, where they don't question your magical premises.
Learn some basic logic. Every one of your arguments is loaded with logical fallacies. Until you address that, no one here is going to take you seriously. You're still making the same mistakes as when you first joined, apparently you've learned nothing.
You have an omnipotent God on your side, how much more advantage can we give you? Why are you still failing? Atheism is more powerful than God, it seems.

I'm sorry to disagree with you so quickly.
I've been rowing with Randy for quite a long time and Randy doesn't debate or discuss.
Randy repeats himself, usually with even more copy and pasting. Then he declares himself the winner, accompanied by self-congratulation.

Kanin: I stand corrected! You are indeed right. I've tried very hard to give randy the chance to debate properly, and it just doesn't happen.
Cue the meltdown, abuse of staff, ignoring the rules, ignoring warnings, abuse of the report button, getting banned, and going back to Christian forums playing the martyr and claiming victory because atheists can't "handle you".
We've been through this dance many times before. You are nothing new to us.

And I'm sure you can forsee that we are all really convinced by it and take it totally seriously ^_^
