So, the sock didn't survive this one thread? How ... appropriate.

The universe doesn't care, but I care. I like living. And life likes living: a product of evolution is the drive to live.

This is proof that you are either a god or superior to G-d ... or both.

The universe doesn't care! Why live? Why procreate?
Don't you see the problem with the atheist worldview? You are merely stating your opinion of what you think we ought to do. What if someone else thinks it better to kill and die, why are you right and they wrong?

That's bullshit, he made one post and he was banned. Talk about anti free speech.

Anti-free speech would be the government limiting speech. Not some internet forum.

The rules state '3. Proselytizing (attempts to convert people to a religion/belief system by means of preaching) is allowed as long as intelligent discourse follows, and as long as it is not spam.'

It was a hit and run post. No discourse, let alone intelligent discourse, was planned by the OP. Therefore, everyone was wasting their time by responding to OP. Now that OP is banned, people won't waste their time by responding to him. AF isn't Twitter or Facebook.

I was going to let him stay, but then I noticed he was a sock. I noticed those couple accounts overlapped, but I wanted to wait to make sure it wasn't a coincidence.

I would ask what a sock is, but some smart ass would just tell me it goes between your feet and your shoes.

Anyway, I like being an atheist because it led to a house and a car and cable TV and a steady supply of moderately-priced decent wine when I stay up all night.  As opposed to a muddy cave begging the lightening god not to strike me.  LOL!

"Sock" is short for "sockpuppet", an entity being operated by someone off screen, and a weak copy of a real person. Few people do socks for a reasonable purpose, most are just to support some agenda.

That make sense.  Thank you.  I think.

He's being serious.  "Sock puppet" is so commonly used that I'm surprised you weren't familiar with it.  I've never fully understood the motivation for sock puppeting.  It's an odd deception that doesn't have much practical value.  Almost all forums will ban someone for doing it.

I'm only 65 myself, but I still use Urbandictionary.com frequently. "PITA" for example, is not a type of Mexican food.
