That Wolf, could you be a bit more clear when you post? LSP level should be fine. Otherwise people will ignore you at best and report you at worst.

What does LSPstand for?

Lord Slow Poke. He's a regular here with a relatively incoherent style, though he's usually fairly comprehensible. He's currently muted for something or another at the moment.

His mute has already been lifted (though he seems to have vanished for most of this month), but please let's not continue this derail. Take it to PMs or another thread if you really want to talk about it.

If I wrote any clearer you would see right through it.
Why should I be comprehensile tail?
Im not in the business of making myself understood.
Im just a side effect of the two part title and and it being an open discussion.
To me It makes sense what I say.
To sum it up. Im here to learn and throw shit at the wall and see what sticks.
My earliest posts should make the most sense, from there on they stop being axiomatic.
Many of the veiws I have presented arent even mine, because its mainly bible fanatics, and related items.
There isnt enough variation here. Yes I know why. Yes I disaprove. Yes I attempt to steer the boat sometimes.

Clarification Edit:
What I mean by throwing 'stuff' at a wall and seeing what sicks. Is if anything I say is helpful in any way, I've helped and thats all I want to do.
I understand that I may be seen as a troll. Im not trying to offend, if anything im just annoying and misunderstood because of lack of writeable emotional expression.
I just try to help.
And from knowledge gained I realise why im hard to understand. I don't filter my thoughts into readable documents.
Im due a software package update

6. Do not post anything solely to see the reaction you will receive. That is almost the very definition of trolling.

Please don't shitpost, it lowers the quality of discourse
Hard science is like a sword, and soft science is like fear. You can use both to equally powerful results, but even if your opponent disbelieve your stabs, they will still die.

I know the discussion here can seem a bit slow sometimes, and maybe it takes a while before anyone replies to a question.  If they ever do.

That doesn't mean things need stirring up, though.  It's just a slow topic, and certain groups are underrepresented.  I'd rather wait for a good answer than see a barrage of new, rather offensive questions.  Even (especially) from someone who's mostly on my "side".

But on that topic, I wish the Christians here would ask more questions of us nonbelievers.  Put us on the defensive for once  :P

(And I'd still like to hear directly from a Jewish person about the afterlife, for Jews and gentiles)

Really?
See I thought the purpose of serious discussion was to be comprehensible so you don't confuse the otherside and so they answer your questions properly.

This is a good point.
I have an inkling why they don't ask though.

You could/can ask about anything that you want to know.
Specificly like Rolan said to put us on the defensive would be fun.
Id say thats why these threads die out, cause the minority get bored and the major repeat eachother.

You could ask us about our morality, about our philosophy, about what we think it means to be an atheist. You could ask us how important atheism is to our belief systems - is it a founding pillar o a minor detail? If all else fails, you could try and convert us, though that might get a bit heavy fr some peoples taste.

Converting people is a bit difficult to do over the internet
It's a tad personal and hard to convey things properly
