Wayne Jackson/Christian Courier[edit]

Who are these things, and why should we be interested in them? Needs a sentence or two to flesh out context. Peace. AgingHippie (talk) 04:12, 5 February 2016 (UTC)

Done. Maybe we need a page on Christian Courier, though. --Read-Write (talk) 06:41, 5 February 2016 (UTC)

How the devil can you hate something...[edit]

...if you don't believe it exists???--Kugelschreiber (talk) (mail) (block) 00:16, 10 March 2016 (UTC) 00:16, 10 March 2016 (UTC)

This is how. 32℉uzzy; 0℃atPotato (talk/stalk) 01:36, 10 March 2016 (UTC)
Yup. It's a form of cognitive dissonance - the religious are so convinced their god exists (or, at least, they want to be), they think everyone else must agree, and are just in denial. Or, they just HATE GOD. Usually because atheists just want an excuse to sin. Of course, claiming god didn't exist, even though you knew otherwise, doesn't really help you sin and/or HATE GOD, but the faithful aren't known for critical thinking.

My brother in FSM...[edit]

@Luigifan18 Why must we have such meaty notes? They are so damn dense we can use them as construction material. I personally feel they are unnecessary.

Also, I'm not bringing this up because I'm trying to be a wiki cop, frankly I never cared too much for Coop/ATIM cases. They bore me to tears and I've never cast a vote in one (and hopefully I never will). But I will point out that the mob DID vote in favour of banning you from adding Mini essays to Main space. Again, I don't care, I'm not gonna block you or lock the page or run to the mods, cause I don't have the energy for such things.

But maybe you care, Luigifan. Maybe you care about the opinion of your fellow editors, who have asked you not to add excessive, unreferenced commentary to articles. You have added almost 6,000 bytes to this page and I didn't spot a single source in the sea of elaborations that you have written.

Yeah, I know that I need to find some sources for some of the stuff I said, like Lenin not having the same… psychological problems that Stalin did. I'm gonna get around to adding the sources a little bit later (in fact, I was just about to start looking); I wanted to get my ideas down first. (And maybe some of it could be trimmed a little… the first note in particular may have rambled on a bit longer than it really needed to.) --Luigifan18 (talk) 21:43, 9 April 2024 (UTC)
This is why we have an entire namespace called Essay. —cosmikdebris talk stalk 00:10, 10 April 2024 (UTC)
