That was, of course, after he roundhouse kicked Vin Diesel and saved you from having to watch one of his movies.

Nope.

Under an atheistic view, it's not. Since there would be nothing "higher" to attribute inherent value to anything, nothingness was no more or less valuable than "somethingness." Albert Camus did a lot of thinking on this topic, and I was a HUGE fan of his at the time (still am, as he was a VERY respectable thinker, and the father of nihilism). Thus, at the time, both living and not living had equal value (or equal absence of value). As such, the presence of pain in living seemed less pleasurable than the lack of pain in the absence of living, since in my mind, living and not living were equitable in and of themselves.

No worries. I didn't take offense at all. I typically try to assume the most innocent of intentions most of the time. Sometimes, it means I get taken advantage of, but I'd rather err on the side of unjustly benevolent mercy than err on the side of unjustly critical judgment.
