Atheism is not a religion, right?

Nope. I just find this place funny and a bit sad. People here are so filled with hate. I really don't think there is a single honest, kind, intelligent, good person here at all.

That doesn't explain your periodic visits, in which you inevitably say provocative things and start fighting.

I don't need to point out that you are here, too. Maybe the real issue is with your own self esteem?

Yes, but I am not a member of the club. When the dogpile starts, you all cling against me like punk jocks.

You have almost twice as many posts as I do--of course you are a member of the club.

Why do you keep coming back and inciting fights? Do you subliminally know you’ve sold your intellectual integrity and deserve to be dogpiled?

[_Sophocles]

Didn't Squeak at one time solicit money on the Net because he needed (or wanted) a bigger house?

Yes, he did, and lied about it repeatedly. See here:

If I recall, this was around the time the Million Dollar Homepage burst on the scene, and it spawned a bunch of copycats thinking this was a great way to make money online.

One of those was Fill My Room, where if you sent the guy a dollar he would add one Lego brick to an empty spare bedroom, and he would update the site with pics of the room slowly filling to capacity.

On his personal blog, Josh criticized these sites while at the same time expressing frustration for not coming up with a similar idea first. So Needahappyhome.com was his attempt to cash in on this trend. Only he never really came up with a gimmick for why anyone would send him a dollar other than simply asking for it. I don't think he made any money on it and the site didn't stay up long.

Turns out the trend was short lived anyway. The original Million Dollar Homepage did make a million dollars, but I don't think any of the copycats were as successful. The Fill My Room guy never did fill his room with Legos, for instance.

Actually, jskains, we don't need to rely on trust because we have corroborating evidence that Sophocles's email exchange is authentic. For example, we have your various meltdowns archived here at MDB, showing how you repeatedly blew up and threw a tantrum every time we tried to point out your hypocrisy to you. Additionally, we know that you had another scheme-like Web page called "Need-a-Happy-Home" (or something like that), where you were trying to get poor suckers on the Internet to bankroll a sweet new pad for you in the La Jolla area. So this isn't a matter of "he said, he said." The evidence is clearly stacked against you.

It's not really surprising. Mormonism is rife with scammers, and the Mormon worldview in general and Moroni's promise specifically opens up people to getting scammed by unscrupulous people.

Even though most of these comments are either flat out wrong or taken out of context, a classic action of Scratch, technically none of what your promoting is a scam.

If someone says "hey, help me buy a house, donate here", that is not technically a scam. Nothing is hidden, the purpose is well known. If someone said "Hey, I am a crippled vet who fought in 4 wars and about to loose my home, please donate here", but then it was found out all of that was a load of crap, that would be a scam.

So when you don't even know what a scam is, one wonders with your broad brushed and unverifiable claim of "Mormonism is filled with scammers", if you have twisted the definition to back your claim.
