    Congratulations on the marriage! How are you liking the new lands so far?

    Things are going well. I have aggressively pushed myself to work on some things offline in the last few months, and that has paid off so far. I was also on break from RF but came back early to attend to staff work.

    Do you find RF an enjoyable place nowadays to spend some free time when you do go online?

    If you wanted to get rid of the ellipsis in your user title you can just retype it then delete it.

    I heard you used to be a New Atheist type.... what made you become a Tom Holland esque thinker?

    While we all need myths, a philosophy that thinks the solution to human irrationality is for humans to be more rational is not to be taken seriously. One that proposes solutions to human problems that are dependent on this is dangerous.

    That is why such people find it so hard to understand “regressive”things like Trump and Brexit without resorting to Russian conspiracies and the like. It always has to be bad actors like Russia or religion that can be “fixed” rather than the fact reality doesn’t conform to their mythical expectations.

    Secular Humanism is people who know how humans evolved, yet are unable to really accept we are just another animal.

    New Atheism is its silly teenage brother

    I almost always click threads in the "Latest Posts" tab when I see that the latest post is from you. I've gotten a lot of food for thought that way. :D

    I find atheists often have an inability to conceptualise what it actually means if there was definitively a God. It like when folk say that even if it was undoubtedly proven that there was a God then they still wouldn't worship it and would go to hell because it's full of cool people and heaven would be boring :D

    I find it funny how so many don't understand the basic premise of your thread.

    I find it quite funny how those most eager to howl in rage at the premise do the most to show it to be true :D

    Have you stopped being unreasonable yet?

    No, mostly because it would require me to think of something witty to say to put in its place...

    What is your avatar from or meant to symbolise (he looks like he's accepting his death)?
    Augustus

    It's just some medieval manuscript art that shows death reaping a soul, presumably a repentant sinner. Don't know much about it beyond that. I like it because death looks like he's taking a golf swing and seems really happy :D

    US politics doesn't concern me a great deal, but I hope he loses so I don't have to endure another 4 years listening to people talking about him :D

    ""Rationalists" have a habit of believing that they are subject to the same cognitive limitations as the rest of humanity though." You miss out a 'not'?
