Just finished the article. It appears to be written by a well educated and intelligent man who somehow has the reasoning skills of a simpleton. His entire argument boils down to, "humans can't be moral without God threatening to burn us should we not be". He diminishes the religious morality he's attempting to lionize by framing it entirely as the logical fallacy of argument from authority. This was written in 1998 so how poorly he defends his notions can be forgiven somewhat given the fact that the atheist view on these things wasn't well known until people like Richard Dawkins, Sam Harris and Christopher Hitchens popularized them in the early 2000s.
The short, pithy rant from Richard Dawkins here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4aCRHjH6d4Q is more of a, "dunk on the theists," sort of thing than I prefer but it too drives home a counter point to Philip Yancey's faith-biased views. In a similar vein here's Hitchens answering the same question (a bit angrily though since by this time he's answered this line of questioning many times in various ways): https://youtu.be/GQcGXBo8HP8
I haven't seen much mention of rap around here but Ka was a true artist. Really sad seeing him go, this is up there with big loses like MF Doom and Sean Price passing. A couple of my favorite tracks from him:
Price, whether they specialize in only a certain type of appliance or general handiwork (generalists can end up being your go to for all sorts of work and tend to be cheaper though may not be certified or only certified in one thing). Ones that give estimates and guarantees are nice too.
I never saw a reason to make an account there so I was surprised so many millions had. Regardless I hope the hacker(s) are caught and sandpaperbuttrapingly punished, the Archive is sacred and should be neutral ground.
Good stuff mate. I've updated the OP to reflect your findings. A system that has variable results like this based on the user's set-up should be standardized so people can get images to show in the correct order the first time and every time regardless of their client. Thanks for helping me sus out what was actually going on. If Mainchan Gold was still a thing I'd give you some.

This secular reasoning was well articulated by Sam Harris in 2006: https://www.samharris.org/blog/the-myth-of-secular-moral-chaos
He'd then go on to give a TED talk on science based morality: https://youtu.be/Hj9oB4zpHww

The comments were gold
Nice to see some deserved punishment of actual bad faith race baiting.
Nice

OK I just tested it 3 times, last test still up here: https://mainchan.com/s/test/6828/Image-ordering-test-3
And I've figured out- EDIT: jack shit because ymous just proved my interpretation of the data wrong.
