How did you become an atheist?
RE: How did you become an atheist?
You can pretend all you like, but you're handling of this[whatever this was] is biased. That is clear from how you shifted gears early on. I would recommend thinking about that, if you give two fucks about users. They might not always know what's best[or what might be better] for them, but that's why you should.

Yes, I'm telling you how to do your jobs. Get over it.

You're a funny man, do you know that?  You say funny things.

Say a funny thing, would you?

This reply is son retarded I don't even know how to respond.

I feel I'm being dragged into an unnecessary argument here and I've never been a fan of that; so I'm refusing to play. If you feel that there has been some injustice that falls under our Rules, then by all means go through the correct channels. I'm done 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.'

Why wasn't I invited?

Ditto.

Oh, and stop being such a cock, EP, it's unbecoming.

I'm more concerned with being right than with actively trying to reach someone. It's up to people to consider what I'm saying. Unfortunately, because of my personality, most dismiss it as you do and essentially think I'm not worth engaging so they don't put that much intellectual effort into it either. That's why I'm misunderstood so often.

Another thing is, I essentially test behaviours, responses, and so on, in order to better understand how some things work. So I'm not necessarily always worth taking too seriously.

EP, you don't have to be a former theist to be an atheist.
You just have to be aware of the theistic beliefs enough to reject them to be an atheist.

You're right. I know that. Somehow the conversation got too heated and it made me say some things in spite of not believing them as such, just to annoy some who have insisted on taking issue with me even asking the questions in the OP- or, at least, that's how I saw it. Maybe I was wrong.
