You used to be able to ask "Is Jeeves gay?" and the response was an error page saying "None of your business."

Just tell us what is on your mind. No need to hide behind the mud.

Zimphire's correct here. There's actually quite a large amount of posts of yours that I agree with, but the annoying way you phrase/lay out things makes me feel that I shouldn't agree with you. Come on man - quit the incessant return-key pressing and attempts at poetry and people will take the posts you make more seriously.

He actually responded with, "I prefer to call it jovial."

Where are my pants. A very important question I often ask.

He couldn't answer any of my questions... I'm crushed.

Read 'em or ignore 'em, agree or disagree.
Take 'em as gospels or even seriously.
It makes no difference either way.

...and Dylan Moran is a tvvat.

Jeeves - find me a Bertrand Russell quote.

The Church attacked the habit of the bath on the ground that everything which makes the body more attractive tends towards sin. Dirt was praised and the odor of sanctity became more and more penetrating. 'The purity of the body and its garments,' said St. Paula, 'means the impurity of the soul.' Lice were called the pearls of God, and to be covered with them was an indispensable mark of a holy man. - Bertrand Russell

And we all said Amen.

I believe the mods have even asked him to quit. One even threatened a bannination if he didn't.

We know how those idle threats are though.

There is something feeble and a little contemptible about a man who cannot face the perils of life without the help of comfortable myths. Almost inevitably some part of him is aware that they are myths and that he believes them only because they are comforting. But he dare not face this thought! Moreover, since he is aware, however dimly, that his opinions are not rational, he becomes furious when they are disputed.

There is no need to try to "convince" us in the process of you obviously trying to convince yourself. Some of us aren't that insecure with our faith as you are yours.

But go own Father benign preach it like a true Atheist trying to convince himself!
