"I agree with you Ed in that there are other forms of entertainment and I do enjoy a good book, puzzle, a nice long run but after that I have other hours out of the day to fill. I try to limit my troll bashing to 1 hour max a day."

Carl Rowley commented on Eric Youngstrom's blog post 'To feed or not to feed?'"A favourite technique of mine is to get them to agree to an apparently innocent premise which appears to support their opinion. Then lead them along a nice trail of breadcrumbs where they have agreed to every premise...then drop a nice logic bomb.…"
Henry Ruddle commented on Eric Youngstrom's blog post 'To feed or not to feed?'"It can be fun now and then as long you don't take it seriously. You'll never make an impact on their thinking or behavior, but you might be able to get them to explode by being clear, logical and unfailingly polite. "
Boatman commented on Eric Youngstrom's blog post 'To feed or not to feed?'"By all means, troll. At minimum, it's a form of mental exercise, and apparently healthy (for you. Not so much for the troll - induced stresses etc)"
matt.clerke commented on Eric Youngstrom's blog post 'To feed or not to feed?'"If creationism is true, why did bananas need to be domesticated before we could eat them?
Well that was my attempt at a troll but actually it is a valid question.....might still provoke a response though...
How about this one: If…"
Ed commented on Eric Youngstrom's blog post 'To feed or not to feed?'"There are cheaper forms of entertainment. A good book is much more enjoyable and rewarding IMHO..."
Carl Rowley commented on Eric Youngstrom's blog post 'To feed or not to feed?'"Only thing I would say is that if you are going to troll them back, do it properly. Don't have any agenda over and above provoking a reaction out of them...and preferably provoke the reaction by being "incredibly dumb" as all the best…"
Ash Pryce commented on Eric Youngstrom's blog post 'To feed or not to feed?'"I can't be bothered with it any mroe. I won't even debate with "legitimate" Creationists as there is no point. Until they can present a valid testable hypothesis to the scientific community that stands up to scrutiny…"
Eric Youngstrom posted a blog postTo feed or not to feed?
Just a question to all Atheists out there. Should I feed christian trolls? I have been dealing with... OK slightly fucking with a troll on Ray Comforts blog (Atheist Central) as well as my YT channel. Now I know you can never win with trolls they just keep on... Well trolling. And most times I do, and have, ignored them in the past. But Recently I have just had this urge to go at a few of them and not let up. Return the fire if you will. So, should I continue with this tactic? Let it go? ect...…See More

- About Me:
- Well let’s see… I am 37 years old, single (divorced with one kid) white (Swedish heritage), male. I am an active duty Navy man, 17+ years. Currently I am going through a 2M (Miniature and Micro-minuter) repair school in San Diego.
I have a strange blend of very easy going/ mellow to hyper/ mile a minute personality. Not a lot of middle ground in that regard. I don’t have any “best friend(s)” unless you count my younger brother. I make friends where ever I go and have lots of friends in that sense but just don’t have the strong desire to be around people all the time. I enjoy my own company so being alone has never been an issue with me.
Other than that just ask me anything, I am an open book.
- Age
- 36-40
- Why are you here?
- I'm an Atheist looking to connect on some level with like minded people.
- The religion you left
- Christian
- Why you left your religion.
- Went to Iraq to guard Muslim extremists and I REALLY started reading the bible and I found more flaws and questions than answers.
I came to realize that all that held me to Christianity was fear. Fear of being wrong, being tortured and that was the straw that broke the camels back.
- Think Atheist Travel Network Couch Availability - Are you able to host anyone now?

MY TOP 5 MOVIES THAT HAVE AN UN-HOLLYWOOD ENDING
Posted on March 28, 2011 at 3:11am 27 Comments 3 Likes
*NOTE 1* This can be taken as anything relating to the good guys losing, bad guys winning, nobody winning. Basically a non-Hollywood ending/ Non-Disney happy ending.
*NOTE 2* There is no particular order to the list.
*NOTE 3* I understand there are many other films that could make this list more than a top 5 could encompass. That being said this is in no way a down mark on other fine films not listed.
5.) The Way of the Gun (…

Dallas the Phallus said… Hello, and welcome to THINK ATHEIST. Please check out the WELCOME page here. Be sure to search the GROUPS to find members interested in the same topics as you, or search the FORUM to find debates on all kinds of issues, and the BLOGS to learn about the thoughts, opinions, and activities of your fellow members.
A few guidelines for posting on TA: The FORUM should be used for discussions and debates, not for personal stories, for seeking advice, etc. The latter belongs more appropriately in your personal blog. When crossposting, please be sure to link to your source.
Before posting a video, please use the search function first to see if the video is already posted. TA tries to avoid duplicate videos. TA also does not allow music videos unless they are related directly to atheism.
Learn more about the site here, review the POSTING GUIDELINES here, and DONATE to the site here.
If you’ll allow me the indulgence to promote my own groups, I have four that you are welcome to join if you are interested: APHRODISIA, HUMAN RIGHTS & SOCIAL JUSTICE, THE THINKING APE, and WHERE THE WILD THINGS ARE.
Again, welcome to the site. I look forward to your contributions.
