Hello, Shining Finger Here.
September 12, 2015 at 4:24 pm
I recently became an Atheist about 2 years ago.
I wasn't aware this was a requirement, so I simply skipped it.
I like reading and watching what I consider "intellectual material" such as Dictionaries of Sociology, 8Bit Philosophy and Votesmart.com.
So I suppose this is enough. I definitely am not a time traveler, so don't ask me questions that may reveal if I am one.

Welcome. From America or elsewhere?

It's not a requirement so much as a courtesy. Hope you enjoy your time here.
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.'

Welcome!
Are you ET?
Being told you're delusional does not necessarily mean you're mental.

Fuck yeah, 8 bit philosophy!
Welcome!
"Every luxury has a deep price. Every indulgence, a cosmic cost. Each fiber of pleasure you experience causes equivalent pain somewhere else. This is the first law of emodynamics [sic]. Joy can be neither created nor destroyed. The balance of happiness is constant.
Fact: Every time you eat a bite of cake, someone gets horsewhipped.
Facter: Every time two people kiss, an orphanage collapses.
Factest: Every time a baby is born, an innocent animal is severely mocked for its physical appearance. Don't be a pleasure hog. Your every smile is a dagger. Happiness is murder.
Vote "yes" on Proposition 1321. Think of some kids. Some kids."

Introductions are just polite in smaller places. Silly on YouTube recommended in smaller groups. Just like saying hello the the shop keeper when the place is a single room occupied by a single clerk and not when walking into a department store.
