No one likes you. No one cares what you have to say. No one clicks on a link where you're the most recent poster without groaning a little on the inside, wondering what this pissant has to say this time. You have no standing. You have no place to talk about video games, much less peoples belief systems. You waste your time with every key you type and I am seriously wondering if I could paypal you a certain amount of funds to go the hell away and never bother people ever again. I'd be willing to gift it.

Conversations are constantly derailed by your sanctimonious, inane, undesired, unrequested, naive, blind bullshit and despite constant requests for you to get in line and act like a reasonable person, you persist in pissing everyone the hell off. I used to think you were some clever kind of troll. That was overly generous of me and I have since moved on.

You want to talk about someone doing something stupid OVER AND OVER again without figuring it out? You're that someone dude. Or have you not figured that out yet?
Wow. Wow. Yeah. Yup. Yes.

Let me know when the dogpile line has finished - I prefer to be on top as to not break a rib.

I feel old when talking to anyone my age yet too inexperienced to effectively talk to anyone older. Life is grand that way.

Everyone needs to learn the difference between opinions and facts.
Look man, I don't believe in god(s) either and I hold their non-existance to be fact until I see convincing evidence othewise that I am sure will never arrive, nor am I looking for it. However even if one wants to convert someone 'on the other side', a proper debate providing evidence and refuting the other side's claims is the proper way to do it. Calling their ideas BS is not.

But as always, religion and politics discussed on the internet never go well. Ever.

So now that it is the day after and all happy discussions of the holiday for those so inclined and Mexican food for some of us not inclined has been beaten to a pulp, shall it just be locked?

That's completely different from things like religion. Opinions are not the same as facts. Either god is real or he isn't. It's one or the other. One side is right and one side is wrong. Yeah, anyone can choose to believe whatever they want, but it won't change the fact that one side is wrong.

When someone says something really absurd or stupid like "I'm gonna go flush all of my money down the toilet because my parents told me I should.", many people would not only think they were foolish, they would speak up and try to stop them from doing it. The difference with religion is that it is so widespread that it isn't seen as crazy. If most people flush all their money down the toilet, it stops being seen as foolish.

Admittedly this is actually true. As a moderator most of the times I see you have posted in a thread, I quietly wonder if you've started a fight over your self-righteous bullshit on some such topic, in some cases regardless of what the original topic was about. And this does not mean just religion, this is generally how you are about any topic, where you feel the need to preach your thoughts as if you were hitting us over the head with a hammer.

I respect your thoughts and beliefs (and considering how humanity can't prove God exists or does not exist, your thoughts are just beliefs in the latter case). But I don't want them shoved down my throat. If anything, that sort of delivery turns me away from whatever your statement is, as it does with everyone else.

I'm sorry this thread has turned into a "Inazuma quit it" thread, but I figured this was ultimately a matter of time. I value your insights in our conversations when you're not in one of these "attack modes", and I really hope you don't leave in frustration over the mass venting of emotion in regards to your behavior. I may disagree with you on some things, but there are many opinions on here I disagree with. It shouldn't be the crux for banning or warning people, but in many cases your opinion has come off as intentionally aggressive and openly hostile, and it has turned many people away from anything you may say, even if you were factually correct.

In short, I don't think you're necessarily a bad person, but I think you should consider toning down the inflammatory delivery.

And for the record, I ate Mexican food today, but I'd gladly go eat it any time with some of the guys on here.

So is this the right moment for a group hug?

It seems like the right moment for a group hug.






Sorry for just making a smart ass remark here, but I felt like this thread got way too serious for its own good. No disrespect meant to anybody.

No, you're fine. It's probably a good time for a hug.

damn you all, I had an incredibly sarcastic post to make but now it'd just seem douchey to make it after a group hug post.
