Aww that's a shame as you are missing out on so much - you don't have to help old ladies across the street, you don't have to feel any guilt about taking the money someone has left in a self service checkout, you can throw the Vs at obnoxious kids. Stuff like that. :)

It's so refreshing to have a genuinely new member. Most 'new' members here are just old members with a new account.
and to everyone else out there the secret is to bang the rocks together guys

Hi, T'orb;
I'm not an atheist, but I like being helped across the road.
And I'm north of t'north as well as Gordon....in civilisation.

Welcome t'Orb. I'm also from t'North, and I'm also an atheist.

Keep an open mind. Not all the theists here are bigots!

Yes scepticism and doubt is what I try to cling to. I would suspect that there could be some atheist bigots too.

It seems I am invited back. Best thing for me to do now, concerning the unfortunate moderation of the past six months, is to just let it go. The current moderation has my full confidence, although never an ass kisser, I.

I'll just peruse the current threads and post where I have something worthwhile to post, same dang thing I've always done. I look forward to posting with most of you again, and all you others, we can still find a way to get along, even though i think you are wrong about everything all of the time, because I will no longer have fun at your expense, although i still intend to have fun. :)

Welcome back - again - Jimmy.
I might not agree on your stance regarding theism, but I look forward to your posts.

Thank you all for your welcome, and especially thanks to you Anchorman for the gracious post. Let's you and I have a go on religious matters now and then but just remember, most of the people I love and respect in this world are Christians, so it is never meant as anything but lively discussion. You have your belief system and I have mine, and although I will go to great lengths to creatively and unflatteringly scrutinize arbitrary belief systems, please never take it to heart.

Cheers, Jimmy;
There's nothing wrong with good, honest argument.
As far as I'm concerned, it's better to bear fruit for the Spirit than be a religious nut.

Being from t'north t'name means the orb.

Hi T'Orb

Just noticed your intro posts on here (sorry).

From which part of t'North does thou emanate? There's a few of us scattered on the well worn track between York & Hull if you're anywhere near...  :)

You've got it arse about face, Anchorman! The spirit is derived from the fruit. ;)
