Feel free to provide a reason.
No need for the vacuous to announce their vacua and vacuity.
Let's see who is intelligent and honest.
Reasons are narratives that humans produce to explain their world. Grind the universe down to the finest powder and you'll find no reasons. The rain needs no reason to fall and the seasons need no purpose to turn.
i like your use of words, which is why i joined. christian forums have minds with too much enclosure.
Is the reason rain falls is because clouds gather too much moisture?

That's only a part of the answer, think about it.
Being told you're delusional does not necessarily mean you're mental.

Everything is just happening.
Any meaning is something of a human desire to have control in knowing and understanding everything around them.

Yea, it's easier to analyze the Effects, not the Cause.

You lost credibility with me with your rationalizing.
Takes a dick to recognize another dick, eh?
I'll let you know when I care about your opinion. You lost credibility with me immediately -- not that you care.
And yes, I can be a dick. I make change in the coin tendered. Don't ask for courtesy when you don't offer it.

I find it telling that the OP chose to engage with those they viewed as attacking more than those who were responding to their query.
Smells fishy to me.

Abandoning a line of questioning when there is ample opportunity to follow through is probably not best described as socratic. It seems less like a dialogue, and more like a dead end in a script.
Do we have follow up questions, or have we reached the end of questioning as soon as we do not receive the answer we desired?
