RE: Why did you come to this board?
I view this place kinda like Shark Tank.

We get to hear theists of all types make their best case and then, when they are looking all hopeful and expectant-like, fish gutting time!

The fun is in the gutting-like-a-fish time. And unlike Shark Tank, we never, ever invest in their crappy products. And theism is the crappiest product mankind has yet to invent. Worse than the Yugo. Worse than the DMV. Worse than Comcast Cable. Worse than Comcast? Absolutely, although Comcast is really, really, really trying to be awful.

I hold out for the belly laughs. Sometimes the idiocy....you just can't make that shit up moments. Snakes with legs/gardens/talking. Yeah, good times there.

RE: Why did you come to this board?
I started out at AF.com because one of the regulars, a guy by the username BadDogma, was a co-worker and turned me on to it. It was nice to be able to vent to a crowd of like minded people without worry. At the time, it was a vibrant, active community. Granted, it had its share of assholes, but only it's share. As time passed, the founder lost interest, the good regulars started to leave, server problems started becoming the norm, culminating in a horrific board crash caused by yours truly and my epic "the last person to post, wins" thread. Not something intentional, it seems their board just couldn't handle a 1000+ page thread. The second largest was their member picture thread at a mere 800+ and most threads, even the popular ones, never made it past 100 or so. After the crash (they were down for two or three days) the draconian policies started and I finally gave them up for the far superior AF.org, which was getting rather regularly bad mouthed when I left.

I came to this forum to share thoughts with like-minded and intellectual individuals. I also needed a community to be a part of because I don't have many people to discuss my distain for the sky dictator with. I was also promised brownies. Still waiting.

Well, considering this is your first post, I'm not sure where you thought the brownies were going to come from...

but, welcome.

Nice name man. You may want to go the introduction section, and introduce yourself. You'll probably receive brownies and waffles there.

RE: Why did you come to this board?
Why I came to AF.... Never really thought about it. Maybe because of my family being of 3 different Christian followings eg seven day adventist, generic. constantly trying to make me see errors of not following their sky daddy. So I came to converse with people with like minds have a joke and learn.
