For being able to speak bullshit so fluently you think he’d be better at telling the difference, but the last couple of years have really proven otherwise.

Ah, not really planning on selling it anyway, I’d sooner just give it away to the unlucky bastard that would have to haul it off. I’m just surprised they’d be worth anything anyway. This thing is a 32 inch Sanyo

I knew they did better visually, I meant more that they’re actually worth anything. The only reason I even still have this old thing is because it’s bigger than my recycle bin and I have no urge even attempt to haul it away.

Do they really? (are worth something, I mean) I still have one upstairs in my house. I don’t use it at all, I’ve just been using it to hold the house down in case of windy weather.

(actually I’m just too lazy to try and haul it out of the house and toss it.)

My old large dog Orion used to sometimes share “his” queen sized bed with me. Other times I had to sleep on the couch.

Ya, Of would send me a bill for scaring people away from the platform if I tried that.

At least it woodn’t break as easily now.

I remember rushing home to catch The Flintstones.

Sometimes you’d go to pick up the phone to call someone but you couldn’t because your neighbor was busy talking, so you’d have to put the receiver down gently in hopes they didn’t hear it and think you were eavesdropping on them.

That took me a second to click in for some reason lol.

Someone trying to kill me or my kids. Maybe I’d still die but I’m taking that person with me.

I’m not “triggered,” I was trying to have a conversation in good faith but obviously that wasn’t your intention. Think whatever you’d like, I was pointing out how your first statement was wrong about that weird “foxhole” thing.

I never said everything in life makes sense, just that praying to something you don’t think is real doesn’t.

Obviously you believe in some form of higher power, so it makes sense that you would pray to it. But you wouldn’t pray to something you don’t at least think has a chance of existing, why would you think an atheist would?

I guess it must be “going over my head”, because it makes no sense to me to pray to something that isn’t there, unless you at least think there’s at least a tiny chance there is… aka agnostic.

I also wouldn’t pray to my toaster unless I thought at least there was the slightest chance it could hear me.

So you’re saying you’d pray to things you don’t believe in when confronted with something traumatic?

No offense, but “No atheists in foxholes” ONLY makes sense to religious people… why would an atheist pray to something he/she doesn’t believe in? Do Christians pray to Muhammad or one of the thousands of other religions in foxholes? Of course not, because they don’t believe in them… that’s the point. If someone is doing that, they’re at best agnostic.

And for the record, I’ve had one of my daughters literally die in my arms, it’s a terrible experience, but it didn’t convert me to some religion to try and make sense out of.

Ah ok, that makes sense… trying to build up trust I suppose.

Don’t a lot of scammers spoof their numbers?

I submitted the Calvin & Hobbes “Change my mind” one for you I think should be used instead of that other guy.
