You're all finger-waggy about me changing the subject, avoiding questions, and so forth. Petard, hoist owner.

How myopic is that? I'm actually far more concerned about (a) individual development along the maturity curve and (b) wisdom transfer to the next generation.
Since you've rejected the concept of the Gospel, you may not grasp the point of Matthew 4:8.
There is no concept of 'purpose' outside of man's brain.
Ah, so.
While I'm in agreement with you that there is no storage appliance anywhere in the universe where any state is kept to which you could point to as "purpose", that's not dispositive of the abstract concept of "purpose".
But the broader joke in play is here:
You are only reciting the things you were taught to believe as a child.
There is no concept of 'purpose' outside of man's brain.
You're not privy to all of the details of my life, which point to far more than rote recital of things I was taught.
But the bigger laugh still is that you're (a) claiming life is meaningless, yet (b) clearly affected by my rejection of your foolishness.
If my faith is a difference that makes no difference (as you appear to claim), then what difference does it make? Or are you just a recreational buzzkill?

I liked that little character!
But on the characters shown in that game, I don't care that they're all white, because skin color doesn't matter a whit to me. (Neither do I care that they're all women; why would someone be bothered that other races aren't represented, when a whole gender is missing as well.)
But body image to women (and men) does matter a little bit to me, so it wouldn't have killed them to design more than one body type, if somehow so-called women's issues really is their side cause. Granted this would've taken more time, and more resources on the device. Even the cast of Scooby Do for example contained stereotypes (the tall, thin, non-bespectacled girl of course could not be the smart one!) but exhibited more creativity than this.
p.s. Way in which Slashdot sucks total ass #457: It's 2015; how about displaying Unicode characters or whatever, instead of polluting text with small strings of garbage.
So go to www.google.com (I just type in the middle part and use the Ctrl-Enter thingie, a lot), presumably in a modern browser, and type in "askew" without hitting Enter.
It probably only works in the mode where upon typing the first character into their home page it automatically jumps to the search box being in the upper left and intermediate results being displayed as you type, so might require JavaScript being enabled.
Good point on that first part. I was thinking all-electrics, as I think hybrids are such an ugly hack.
But my sis and her hubby now have two Priuses (from different generations), and I've never heard any complaints about how they're managed. ?
Life needs no 'point'. You needn't keep harping on that dead horse. Simple laws of physics sustain all.
The 'point' == http
Simple laws of physics sustain all == getting on the internet
My contention is that you can't really even evaluate 'sustain all' without at least tacitly accepting the existence of the underlying 'point' of life.
But we've previously circled this drain. I think you're either (a) trolling, or (b) a fool. And I really don't care which is the case.
Waste not, get your budget cut next year.
