The mods are my enemies. They always have been, and they always will be, and I will destroy them. If you're a mod then you are my enemy.

I don't think the corpse of a priest is a good foundation for any belief system.

Peta how does one 'master' atheism?


It takes a lot of grinding but you can just position yourself behind any priest NPC and tape down the right trigger and then go do something else.

Like the use of “surely,” a rhetorical question can be a substitute for thinking. While rhetorical questions depend on the sense that “the answer is so obvious that you’d be embarrassed to answer it,” Dennett* recommends doing so anyway. He illustrates the point with a Peanuts cartoon: “Charlie Brown had just asked, rhetorically: ‘Who’s to say what is right and wrong here?’ and Lucy responded, in the next panel: ‘I will.’” Lucy’s answer “surely” caught Charlie Brown off-guard. And if he were engaged in genuine philosophical debate, it would force him to re-examine his assumptions.

Master Atheist Hitchens's razor: "What can be asserted without evidence can be dismissed without evidence." ConnorMachiavelli says he has kissed a girl but where is the proof??

yes but the answer is irrelevant because that proves nothing about whether or not you're a loser at life

A long time ago in like 2009 you made a comment on my profile that was like, "Don't ever care what other people think of you," and reading that comment was a really formative experience for me. Thanks, man.


Yea, you used those words to wrangle a faction of the site under your tutelage.

ConnorMachiavelli, if you were on a spaceship and it ran out of gas then everybody on the spaceship would agree that you'd be the first person they'd burn for fuel.


well unlike you i am not obsessed with being liked i don't care if some idiots have disliked me


I bet you would wish that you had cared more if you wound up on that spaceship.


it's an unrealistic proposition and i wouldn't be the true loser at life because i didn't live it in fear of others opinions


Yeah, well, I bet you have never kissed a girl.
