No. I have personally, physically, visited every particle of every matter and energy state that ever was and ever will be. I have personally dissected every spacetime event of every universe with my own hands. No gods.


I love British humor.  This is a very good example.

Yeah, I'm clueless, but can't stop reading.

This would help lesson any further misunderstandings and lead to peaceful interactions. Thank you for a kind consideration.

As for SteelCurtain, he was initially a good guy but later on, due to the recurrent nature of his harassing me to the point that I was left too distressed and unable to concentrate on my daily work/studies and tasks, I do not respect nor even trust this guy anymore. To me, he is just another notorious person with either a pettiest predisposition to fool and deceive others or lacks integrity and ethical conduct such as hacking, plagiarising and selling someone else's work without the originator's knowledge and consent.

I also have a very dry sense of humour but most of the times, it isn't well received, understood or accepted in the household - I guess it is because they underestimate my intelligence enough to already conclude that I wouldn't be able to use humour at that level; it is why I hate family the most for being such an ignorant bunch of people just as I hate any teachers for overlooking my some specific talents and strengths well into tertiary educational settings.

Lol, man up and accept racism? Tolerate overt racism? No, no, no my man. You got the wrong motherfucker for that.

The entire reason I mess with you is your racism. You literally said to me in Slack "I am surprised that you're so well mannered and intelligent" after you found out I am black. You might think it's my problem if you call me a nigger, but let me tell you, that story goes another way in real life.

You are comfortable behind your keyboard, and so I will be comfortable behind my keyboard.
"There remain four irreducible objections to religious faith: that it wholly misrepresents the origins of man and the cosmos, that because of this original error it manages to combine the maximum servility with the maximum of solipsism, that it is both the result and the cause of dangerous sexual repression, and that it is ultimately grounded on wish-thinking." ~Christopher Hitchens, god is not Great

I'm on holidays currently so I'm working on portfolios, internet-surfing and indulging in other kinds of creative works. Having learnt my lessons for showing my interests and creative works to some members of this forum, a moderator included, i.e. SteelCurtain, who seemed to joke to a hellish extent about plagiarising and selling copies of my novels or so - coupled with my inability to discern dry humour from genuine claims and in tonal comprehension due to my hearing disability (whilst English is my first language), I can no longer be confident in sharing with anyone, yourself included, Whateverist on what I'm up to, creatively wise. For trust to build up, I need to get to know someone personally very well and after years of interactions.

Anyways, when you mentioned human agendas, I guess it's your humanism, yes? I like humanism, which is inherently atheistic but with a difference - ethical conduct, willingness to adhere to the Golden Rule and philanthropic dealings. I've always firmly believed in cooperation over competition which is why I've ambivalent attitudes towards capitalism and anarchy whilst pioneering a new kind of state that strikes the balance in between.

Oh yeah, meant to address my bolded above. Not really. Beyond child rearing (and perhaps finishing up in some philosophy classes), I find an obsession with morality to be unnatural, unnecessary and not useful .. except in conflict mediation. But only in actual instances of conflict. A pastime devoted to elaborating a moral system capable of settling all possible conflicts is a waste of time in my opinion. Life is short, I prefer to live it rather than developing a decision tree to make my participation unnecessary. (FYI, I was a philosophy major so my stance is not uninformed.)

However, that doesn't mean that I can't respect someone who disagrees with me about this. I mean, some people cheerfully devote huge tracts of time to completing crossword puzzles. I myself whittle away precious hours playing lots of card games with the wifey. I just don't think I'm doing anything important for mankind while so doing. But in terms of what one is drawn to do for personal amusement, I have no judgement.

Nope. Read my latest shout in the box, found on the frontpage of this forum.

As for finding love, I'm not interested in Exian unless he's really sexy to me.

I am very sexy to you, I'll have you know!
I can't remember where this verse is from, I think it got removed from canon:

"I don't hang around with mostly men because I'm gay. It's because men are better than women. Better trained, better equipped...better. Just better! I'm not gay."

For context, this is the previous verse:

"Hi Jesus" -robvalue

Not only well mannered and intelligent, but way more sexy than my own skinny white ass Big Grin

Lel @this thread. Will you form a partnership with me selling his novel? I know a guy that sells real cheap white paper. Note: WHITE. Not black. He should be pleased.

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.'

At least you appreciate the work; thank you. I don't think our friend believes me.

Adventurer, why don't you ask me for evidence?

Now I see the problem. The moment you put black letters on a white paper, you ruhined its purity.
