Smart and honest. And modest. I’m smart, but I don’t tell people that unless they ask. And then, since I’m honest, I’m forced to tell the truth and say I’m smart.
Though I’d add that being smart is relative. Compared to physicists, I’m a moron. Compared to atheists on RHP, I’m Einstein.

Pride and God do not co-exist.

I do though agree with him that God and pride cannot coexist. (Which means, bearing in mind he is positively bursting with pride, that God must indeed be fictional).

Originally posted by @romans1009I don't know your conclusion here is warranted, But I think you aren't completely stupid.

Originally posted by @romans1009I think that ominous warning has been used to justify much persecution here on earth.
You think atheists and non-Christians will be persecuted?

And it’s interesting that you equate the actions of an individual with whether or not God exists. To say that’s faulty reasoning is quite an understatement.

Originally posted by @romans1009Every religious group has suffered persecution somewhere, sometime, along the way, or avoided it by getting government protection, at a price.
Do you think Christians are persecuted on earth?
Originally posted by @js357Agreed, though rather amusingly he directed the comment at Romans in error. 😵
Yes, belittling chess players on rhp is a low blow.
Freudian slip perhaps?

Originally posted by @ghost-of-a-dukeI made one quip about tiger not using a duplicate account on here to improve his chess rating and you claim that belittled him? You’re really off your game today, Heartpence. Did Miss Alawat call you a “crazy nutjob” again? I know how much that enrages you.
