And if anyone figures out where he works, don't buy their food. He can't be trusted in the least.

I'm just trying to figure out why it's still here. Is open, flagrant trolling no longer against the rules?

I believe he's still here because this is his only social outlet, the real world has him on ignore or is banned. You'll need to ask the mods/admins about trolling rules.
I don't have an anger problem, I have an idiot problem.

Your answers to those questions might tell me what I need to know about your temperament, so I can recommend an appropriate god for you.

I think Bacchus the god of wine would be good!

Jeff, god of biscuits.
I am the Infantry. I am my country’s strength in war, her deterrent in peace. I am the heart of the fight… wherever, whenever. I carry America’s faith and honor against her enemies. I am the Queen of Battle. I am what my country expects me to be, the best trained Soldier in the world. In the race for victory, I am swift, determined, and courageous, armed with a fierce will to win. Never will I fail my country’s trust. Always I fight on…through the foe, to the objective, to triumph overall. If necessary, I will fight to my death. By my steadfast courage, I have won more than 200 years of freedom. I yield not to weakness, to hunger, to cowardice, to fatigue, to superior odds, For I am mentally tough, physically strong, and morally straight. I forsake not, my country, my mission, my comrades, my sacred duty. I am relentless. I am always there, now and forever. I AM THE INFANTRY! FOLLOW ME!

It would be wonderful because it would align with my values. I already think God should take direct control of the world, but having competent, righteous human mediums would be the next best thing.
Yep. You'll love it, until those people in charge start making laws and edicts that don't align with your values. And the only proper response to that? Tough shit. It's a theocracy, you don't have any say in anything.

I gave up on that question a long time ago.  I keep intending to just ignore all his posts, but for some reason I just can't resist.  He's like a black hole of stupid.  Please yell at me the next time I engage with him.
Why is it so?

It can be really difficult to avoid feeding the trolls. You can yell at me next time I do the same.

I have tried to get Ahriman to try to get along with the members here but he doesn't seem interested in that.

The best thing to do is ignore.

Until he blatantly steps over a line, there's not a lot we can do.

The ignore function can be your friend.

I put him on ignore some time ago. It's great. If I ever want to see his posts, I just click the button. 

Like Brewer said, I wonder if this is one of his few social outlets. I personally don't mind him that much. Some of his off topic threads are fine.

I feel like if he'd take the time to defend some of his positions, he might even be an okay contributor some of the time. But because he just claims things by fiat and leaves it at that... a conversation isn't really worth the energy.

I was a moderator on one of the most popular channels on EFNet for ten years. Trolls don't bother me and I've been known to engage in counter-trolling from time to time.
