Hi, pal. --e|m|c ^[TALK] 23:32, 16 February 2008 (EST)

Holy shit, it's the great Uncyclopedia Exodus! -- Radioactive afikomen ^{Please ignore all my awful pre-2014 comments.} 23:41, 16 February 2008 (EST)

Hey, get out of our Holy Land you bastards. --e|m|c ^[TALK] 23:42, 16 February 2008 (EST)

I just heard about this place, and it looks cool. The fact that I was banned again might have something to do with my joining ; ) -- Kip teh Dip • Talk

... It was Famine, wasn't it? -- Radioactive afikomen ^{Please ignore all my awful pre-2014 comments.} 00:22, 17 February 2008 (EST)

No, it was Zombiebaron. Famine's on vacation (Thank God). If it were Famine, you know I'd be banned an infinite amount of time longer! -- Kip teh Dip • Talk 06:19, Feb. 17, 2008

Whatever was it for, comrade? -- Radioactive afikomen ^{Please ignore all my awful pre-2014 comments.} 01:34, 17 February 2008 (EST)

I don't know exactly, so I'm waiting to hear back from him. Here are the likely cannidates:

• I nominated "Category:Pictures of naked girls" for VFH [1].
• On my userpage, I wrote a "Pet Peeves" subsection. One of things was "The following people get on my nerves", and I listed him three times.
• I vandalised by creating the article "I like cheese", then realized I wasn't at Illogicopedia.

Hm. Love your signature, by the way. : ) -- Radioactive afikomen ^{Please ignore all my awful pre-2014 comments.} 01:56, 17 February 2008 (EST)

BTW, we've had a few problems with *'s before. They are often attached to wildly illogical flights of, well, something, but not seagulls.--PalMD ^{--You don't know harsh!} 02:00, 17 February 2008 (EST)

Yeah, doc, but that was a legitimate bullet list contained within his post.

Signature help

RationalWiki is more fickled than Uncyc. It doesn't recognize "nosubt" in the signature box for some reason, so you need to remove it. To avoid pasting the entire code of your signature every freakin' time, just make a different subpage, let's call it "User:Kip the Dip/sigsubst", which itself contains only {{User:Kip the Dip/sig}}. Put that page in your preferences, as {{subst:User:Kip the Dip/sigsubst}}. -- Radioactive afikomen ^{Please ignore all my awful pre-2014 comments.} 02:12, 17 February 2008 (EST)

Hark! A fellow-at-arms!

What is this? A kindred soul has joined me here? -- ^pasnamuħ   02:36, 17 February 2008 (EST)

Pastor Dip!

"Did I mention I'm considering becoming a pastor?" —Kip the Dip

Somehow, I just can't reconcile the name "Kip the Dip" and "pastor" together. : ) -- Radioactive afikomen ^{Please ignore all my awful pre-2014 comments.} 03:39, 17 February 2008 (EST)

PS, you may want to brace yourself. There are a number of militant atheists here. Don't worry too much, though—I got your back! --Your neighborhood friendly atheist, Radioactive afikomen ^{Please ignore all my awful pre-2014 comments.} 03:39, 17 February 2008 (EST)

Oh, I'm not too worried. I may not be experienced in debate, but I can grow. My English teacher told me I'm a great writer, so that can work to my advantage. Thanks a billion for your support friend! You're going on my RationalWiki top 8 list! :D -- Kip teh Dip • Talk 09:37, Feb. 17, 2008

Who's alienating you?

I'm a Christian, but I haven't found a great deal of alienation here. Let us go forth and smite them together for their meany-headedness. --מְתֻרְגְּמָן ^{שְׁלֹום}

Please don't go

I hope you didn't take offense at my debate proposals. Young blood is desperately needed here. And many editors here are deeply religious, some of them just don't want to admit that to themselves. I'm sure a good pastor could convert some.

Keep also in mind that it's boycott week. It's kind of ramadan for (some) muslims or premenstrual days for (some) women. It makes people behave strange. Editor is bored^{Bring TK back} 07:23, 17 February 2008 (EST)

That's the thing. I'm not a good pastor. If I'm going to support my beliefs to others, I need to prove them to myself first. -- Kip teh Dip • Talk 12:26, Feb. 17, 2008

Ok, don't start converting yet. I don't think this site will test your faith. But have you visited Conservapedia? Editor is bored^{Bring TK back} 07:29, 17 February 2008 (EST)

Yeah, I have been to Conservapedia. I have a userpage there, but just for the sake of having a userpage there. -- Kip teh Dip • Talk 12:33, Feb. 17, 2008

There are some interesting religious debates over there. Editor at RW^{was rooting for HD DVD} 07:34, 17 February 2008 (EST)

And some loonies who can really test your faith, regardless of confession. Editor at RW^{was rooting for HD DVD} 07:35, 17 February 2008 (EST)

Yeah, alright. -- Kip teh Dip • Talk 12:38, Feb. 17, 2008

I am being a smartass

Why would you want to apply science and reason to the Bible? Faith is just that, faith. It doesn't oppose science, and it doesn't need to use science. That is, meaning natural sciences, obviously theology and other fields are essential.

Anyway, if you want to study the Bible, whatever your confession, remember that there are two millennia of studies and knowledge on it. While I show my bias here, I consider the Vatican the best place to learn. Why re-invent the wheel? Editor at RW^{was rooting for HD DVD} 07:56, 17 February 2008 (EST)

Well, I disagree on that view of faith. It's not 100% a shot in the dark. You put faith in your doctor, but the only evidence for his qualifications is a peice of paper on the wall. -- Kip teh Dip • Talk 21:58, Feb. 17, 2008

Sorry, I don't understand. I put faith in my doctor for my health, and I put faith in the scientists who study evolution, for my knowledge, and I put faith on a priest, for my contact with God. Editor at RW^{was rooting for HD DVD} 17:06, 17 February 2008 (EST)

Inquiry

Am I correct in assuming that your decision to leave us so soon had somnething to do with this? --AKjeldsen^Godspeed! 07:59, 17 February 2008 (EST)

May I point out that the description of me here is fairly accurate? human 15:19, 17 February 2008 (EST)

Yeah, the first one. -- Kip teh Dip • Talk 22:00, Feb. 17, 2008

Kip!

I love you. Don't leave us. --e|m|c ^[TALK] 16:48, 17 February 2008 (EST)

See, e|m|c has confessed his love for you. You can't leave now! Anyway, I'm another believer in one of those ancient texts, and I'm welcome here, as are AKjeslden and Interpreted. Seriously, please don't leave based upon that in isolation. --Linus^{(plot evil tech)} 17:42, 17 February 2008 (EST)

I really think you are better off staying. There is no shame in not being smart enough round here. If you want to sort out your thoughts and get your arguments together, you will be able to practice them here. However, you need to confront the "enemy" face to face or you'll never learn. Genghis ^Marauding 18:38, 17 February 2008 (EST)

He shoots! He scores! A second bigoted attack! :(.

There is no shame in not being smart enough round here.

--מְתֻרְגְּמָן ^{שְׁלֹום}

Gee, Genghis, you disappoint me. --Linus^{(plot evil tech)} 18:44, 17 February 2008 (EST)

Okay, you should stop calling Genghis a bigot. I've seem to have come off as someone who has read something different and was shattered. Actually, what happen was this wiki turned out to be different than what I expected. I really appreciate everyone's support, but I perfer to spend my time at a less logical wiki. -- Kip teh Dip • Talk 00:16, Feb. 17, 2008

Aha, but I'm not calling him a bigot. I'm calling what he says bigoted. Hate the sin and love the sinner, and all that. --מְתֻרְגְּמָן ^{שְׁלֹום}

He was referring to this rather than trying to insult him. --Robledo 19:40, 17 February 2008 (EST)

Thanks Robledo, it's nice to see someone actually reads and comprehends stuff rather than just engaging in a knee-jerk reaction by selective quote mining. Genghis ^Marauding 02:12, 18 February 2008 (EST)

Sorry i didn't see the leave me alone thing...

...before I wrote you a screed. Please de-stress and come back happy. I hope life works out for you in the meantime. Let us know if we can help.-αmεσ (soldier) 23:49, 17 February 2008 (EST)

Unstressed

...I don't know if you necessarily are at this point, but it's nice to see your situation at Uncyclopedia has been resolved! You're still welcome here as well, by the way, so do feel free to drop by RationalWiki any time. Hope to see you about! Uchiha^KATON! 00:09, 11 May 2008 (EDT)
