Aside from the obvious, "Their lips are moving" (Ba-du-da-dum) I listen for the words "What if." What if Jesus returns? What if God is real? What if there is a hell? "Bla bla bla..." Any Christian worth his salt would not be uttering such imaginary trash. They would just tell me, "You are going to burn in hell. Jesus is real. There is a God." In the magic world of "Whatif" they are just testing the waters without actually committing themselves to a position. These slime balls deserve no respect!

Oh, great! Way to go, Q!... *rolling eyes*...By resurrecting all those five year old posts you've done gone and got Cog all worked up. How many times do I have to tell you? "With great power comes great responsibility."
Hey, Old Man! Go get the tranquilizers while I try to keep Cog contained!
*approaching Cog slowly with hands open out in front*.....*talking calmly and quietly*.... There, there, big guy. It's okay. Juuuuust relax... Deeeep breaths.... There ya go.... Goood....
*Cog's ears go back*....*staring fixedly at me*.....*eyes narrowing*....
Oh, shit..... *turning to run away*... He's gonna charge!!!... Old Man, hurry your ass up with the tranquilizers!!!!....

Apologies to all concerned. Cog momentarily got away from the staff and locked himself in the nurse's station where he attempted to either bash his head on the keyboard or type messages with his face as the straight jacket was securely binding his arms. If anyone out there was offended by this, we do apologize. Cog has now been chained to his bed and loaded up with Thorazine, we feel confident in saying "The incident will not be repeated." The staff are recovering from their bites and everything seems to be under control now. Sorry for the inconvenience.

*limping slowly and woozily into the emergency room*.... *holding bandage to top of head with one hand*.... *holding bandage to buttocks with other hand*....
Is there a doctor in the house?!?... I think I may need stitches!.... Oh, and it feels like there may be a bicuspid stuck in my left butt cheek....*high pitched voice*... Mary had a little lamb, its fleece was whi-... *passes out on floor in front of nurse's desk*....
@Tin-Man
Don't mean welding instead of stitches?

@Arakish
Well, duh. Obviously. But I hardly think now is the time to get all technical. I'm just a metal man trying to "blend" in an organic world. Is it really such a bad thing if I use organic vernacular to try to avoid alienating myself?....*fanning face dramatically*...Oh, dear... This is just way too much right now. If anybody needs me I'll be in my safe space....*turns around abruptly, head back, with back of hand on forehead while limping away*...
I am also implying you don't need to attempt to "blend" in. At least I accept you for what you are. I could care less what others think. Unless, of course, they agree with me.

If we keep this up, they will not allow us to log into AR at the same time any longer.
@Cog
Hmmm... Well, If that happens, then Monday, Wednesday, and Friday evenings work for me. What days/times do you prefer?
Oh, by the way, the doc got your tooth out of my butt cheek. You want it back to put under your pillow for the Tooth Fairy?
@Cog re: OP
And how do you spot a malicious, weasely, true believer Christian? They make lots of sweeping statements about their "fellow Atheists".
@Sushi
OH, SURE!... NOOOoooow you show up! Hasn't anybody shown you yet where we keep the emergency containment net? That would have come in really handy earlier, ya know. *tenderly scratching my left butt cheek*...
@Tin Man
My precious child, I love you and will never leave you
Never, ever, during your trials and testings.
When you saw only one set of footprints,
It was then that I carried you.
Well...actually I carried Cog. I got him to unlock the door, then put him to bed. I'm sorry about your bites. Cog had been doing so well on his Positive Behaviour Support Plan, I took my eye off the ball. He hadn't bitten anyone in months.
Hey! Anybody wanna sign my stitches?!? *snicker*
*Yawns and stretches* oh my lord * surveys damage to venue, bloodstains, saliva and signs of struggle* What did I miss? TM is this yours? * holds up damaged insoection panel with "not this way up, dummy" printed on it."* Anyone home? Heloooo?
@Old Man
*takes panel*....You had one job. ONE job. Tranquilizers....*hugs panel close to chest* ...*reverts to passive-aggressive tone*... Hey, that's okay, though. I'm fine. Yep, just all hunky-dorey here. So what if I can't sit down for the next week? And I'm sure all the psychological damage and emotional scars will start....*sob*...fading away...*sob*....just as soon as I get...*tears filling eyes*.....my panel...*sob-sob-sob*....re-re-re-repaaaaaaired....! *hysterically crying*....*turns and limps away slowly*....
How did this turn into the "Pick on Cog thread?" Where in the hell are the moderators. You know what you can do with that damn tooth!!!! I would tell you but if I have another emotional outburst they will give me the LA-LA juice again and force me back into that little white room. Damn!!!! Now I am whistling while I type.
@Cog
No! No! It's not your fault, it's mine! I missed the trigger. I should have realised things had gone too far when you didn't want your Jesus chew toy. I should've gotten you out of there before you escalated. I'm sorry, Cog.
@Cog
You don't want the tooth?... Hey, cool! I'm gonna make a necklace out of it.
What in the hell good is a jesus chew toy without a tooth to chew it with. You're just ragging on me. Damn, I need some more Thorazine.
Two words ......
Gummie Bears
can someone explain to me what happen here?? anyone?....
*rolling up sleeves*...*cracking knuckles*,
i didn't know cog will be allergic to old post. well i think that's enough for today..
i'll just continue it tomorrow...hahahah
thanks for the gummie bears david, *nom nom..nom* kinda hard to chew though!!
@Q
Couldn't you at least just PRETEND to have some small amount of remorse?....*spots the gummie bears*.... Oooo, gummie bears! Pass me a few, please.
But but but .... they tasted fine when I got them as a Christmas gift. I kept a few in a bowl for such an occasion.
@David
*nom-nom-nom-nom*... *stuffing more gummie bears in mouth*.....*muffled voice*...No hahbuhm, Da-id....*nom-nom-nom*...I uhv ol ummie aires...*chomp-chomp*....*stuffing more in mouth*... Ere muh ai-or-its....*nom-nom-nom*...
chewing while reading the expiration date
*nom..nom..nom..*.... *swallow satisfyingly* hey t-man, look...its expired 2 years ago, so that's why it tasted funny...

*LATER THAT DAY*(spongebob narrator voice)

.........
Dammnnit: You ever tried to suck a gummy bear to it's gummy center? Where in the hell is that tooth!!!
@Cog Re: Tooth
*quickly moving hand to neck to cover necklace*... I have no idea what you're talking about....*whistling innocently*...
That missing tooth has allowed my alter ego to escape..... OMG ---- What in the hell have I done?
Cog my man! What’s up dude! Great observations. There have been so fucking many Christians I’ve debated at my college that embody this completely. Not much more pisses me off than to see that they don’t even believe it themselves. Be genuine, don’t run from what you believe. Be honest with yourself and if your honesty leads away from god have the damn courage and balls to follow it
Justin! How's it goin'? Yeah, I agree it is annoying when you are talking with a theist who has doubts about their own beliefs but are afraid to examine those doubts in a serious or critical manner. Instead, they just seem to retreat from those doubts and hide behind a thin veil of patent excuses. Their comfy little bubble world is fragile, so their poking at it too much would cause it to pop.
Of course, knowing the things I know now, it is sometimes easy for me to forget I was once one of those "bubble dwellers." Even though I had all the nagging and uncomfortable doubts, the thought of making the final commitment to step completely outside that bubble was far more discomforting. Therefore, I basically kept away from anything that could potentially pop that bubble.
Funny thing is, nowadays I see friends/family in that same position and I just want to grab their shoulders and shake them and yell, "Wake the fuck up!" But I know it wouldn't help. If anything, it might make them retreat further away. Yes, we can drop little seeds here and there in hopes they will eventually take root and give the individual the courage to finally let go. But in the end, it is strictly up to the individual to WANT to see the truth. And sometimes the truth can be very scary to most people.
Oh, just one more thing...*putting arm around your shoulder and leading away from group*....*whispering in ear*... hey, listen, do your best not to mention cog's missing tooth. he's still a little touchy about it. oh, and if you hear a strange whistling noise as he types, just ignore it. pretend not to hear it. just a little fyi, okay?
