Yes, but does God exist?














KIDDING!!! :D

I apologized for my first post and (it is in somewhat poor taste to discuss private communication but) thecorndogwalker privately acknowledged my post where I admitted what I had said with inappropriate grace (though perhaps it was sarcastic and in my obtuseness I'm missing it).

I don't really buy the idea that ideas from new members should be coddled. What I said would have been equally inappropriate if it had been in reply to some post by Steve or Lisa or Nephytys (it suddenly occurs to me I have no idea what her real name is).

I started this thread off on the wrong foot. That was classless of me and I do regret it and meant it when I apologized (hopefully if there is one thing clear about it me, it is that if I don't feel an apology is appropriate and meant I won't offer it).

I was God in a previous life. So, yes, I exist. :p



;)

I don't know why, but this reminded my of a T-shirt I once saw that read; "We're all just part of God's alcohol induced hallucination”.

If you go from universe to universe killing your other selves, you take on their power. When you kill the last one, you become invincible--the closest thing to God. Or so said Professor Li.

Ok - then let me try to do what you have been dancing around:

to Alex (and perhaps in the context of this thread MousePod as well): Sometimes you come across as an insensitive prick, my sense is that you know this already and probably don't really care about that possible public perception, but you should know (as should everyone else on the board) that those perceptions can colors people's willingness to engange you in conversation - that also might not matter to you, but if it does you might want to think about how you post.

To corndogwalker (and perhaps the rest of the posting community):I hope you realize that each member of this community speaks for themself here and not for anyone else in the community. No one expects you to like everyone or requires you to respond to anyone's post (though in the absence of contray evidence might make erroneous assumptions about) you). There is in fact an ignore feature on this board that anyone can employ to block out the posts from people they'd rather not hear from (though we all know it just makes you click a button to read the post anyway). Still I hope you know that there are plenty of people here that welcome you (possibly even Alex and MousePod) and look forward to reading your contributions.

Hmmm, maybe I was just a god, rather than The God. :p


In any case, I'm sure I was hot...:D

Ok my last post took too long post - sorry for that, but in the interest on not pancaking, I'll let it stand.

I have no argument with that. Though from my perspective it frequently looks like the other person is an overly sensitive wimp unwilling to examine the thoughts they profess.

But I know that I am generally regarded as overserious, humorless, and prone to try and force "serious" conversations where people generally want levity and buttslaps.

I know that it is mostly my fault, and to a large part I don't care how I'm perceived. It is just the way I am. That said, people generally assume I am being more serious than I actually am, and frequently I am not starting them out of some serious mission but rather because I enjoy them.

But yes, I'm a prick by most standards.

Aww Jeez Alex - there's one for the quotes - appologies again for taking this public, but my sense was that you'd prefer it that way at least so you could respond for youself - which you certainly did - at least in this universe...
