Re: Thread title suggestion
I made the change - I should have done that when promoting the thread.
I believe you could have changed it by editing the opening post.
Thank you. I wasn't aware that I had that capability. I thought only Admins could do it. Now I know. Thanks.

Robin doesn't consider that - sloppy logician that he is.
Very true.
But honestly, Ian.
Knowing what you do about my character, such as you have been able to ascertain from my posts here, do you really think I'm the sort to "settle"? To be content with mediocrity?

Re: Swing Vote
You may want to live your life a sullen, cynical malcontent, jealously poo-pooing everyone who isn't as jaded as you are, if that gets you off.
I feel sorry for you, though, if that's the case.

Schraf, I can assure you that I am not a "sullen, cynical malcontent." Admittedly, I am a little jaded, but aren't we all?
I am trying to do you some good, but you won't listen. One cannot go through life living in a bubble-world. This is what these boasters do. If you do, you won't experience anything except some stuff you made up.
This will not do. We--you and I--want to experience reality, not something we made up. Do you want to end up like Jar, living in some sentimental world of make-believe? No, we want to experience reality, for better or worse.

Re: Don't you just love 'labels?'
Gonna have to disagree with Moose here. I tend to think that, at a push, most atheists would agree that they cannot totally deny the possibility of the existence of God/Gods without moving into almost a "faith" position. So technically, one could regard them as agnostics as well.
That`s known in the atheist trade as the SSS, Cookie. The Sneaking Suspicion Syndrome. Which goes along the lines of 'If you look really, really deep down in an atheist, they believe in God'.

Re: Swing Vote
He's just poking you for bragging, which you don't seem to be aware of doing. "Sullen" is so far from an apt term for Robin it boggles the mind. Or "malcontent" or "jaded." I'm mulling over "cynical."

Ok, no more of this. Stay on the poll topic.
If you've logged your "vote" then shut up!
