How did you become an atheist?

EP, I don't think you returning to Mafia would be a good idea.

And another thing I do appreciate you whilst you are remaining decent on the forums. If you can keep it that way then that would be awesome.

Well, to be fair, I could if I wanted to, but I appreciate your opinion nonetheless. That's what I said as well.

But why would you trust me more if I said something bad. Couldn't I be dishonest, but decent, like Evie described? I guess we know which one you prefer, though.

For the record I can't decide whether I think ultimately decency or honesty is more important. As I said, both are massively important and it depends..

Of course, to have both is preferable... but to have one of either is better than to have neither.

I can imagine cases where it wouldn't be preferable to have both at the same time, or one of them in particular. But as a general rule, I agree - it's better to be both honest and decent.

Just to be sure I understand you, though. Why do you value decency?

Hmm. WIFOM overdrive here. I think I prefer you calling me an idiot   Cos then at least I know where I stand   I do miss you though - I miss crossing swords with you.

I'm sorry, but that's not possible anymore. I don't feel the need to call people idiots anymore. I can tell you though, it's just a way for people to deflect attention from themselves. So at the end of the day, it's all just a sham.

Would you like to move this conversation over to your other thread in R'lyeh? just cos I know how this probably gonna end   I'm not saying I'm looking for a fight, but that's what I'm expecting will happen from past experience. I'm happy to talk about this with you if you want, but I think the other thread would be a better place for it, just in case.

Sure, let's move there. I won't attack you, but feel free to say whatever you want to me. Honestly, I'll be fine.

Evie, I invite you to continue the discussion there as well, if that's ok with you.

Mainly because it's decent. Lol.

I'd very much like that. Especially if best Squishy is going to be there as well. Xmas was pretty good but the 26th was crappy (except I watched an awesome movie) and the first 2 hours and 20 minutes of today (the 27th here at GMT) has been pretty shitty too. Feeling emotionally drained and saddened.
