The fact that unicornism doesn't drive important things the way that theism does isn't semantic..that's not at all what that word means. If unicornism -were- driving important things you would see vocal a-unicornists, and ever was it thus.
You're only telling me that words don't make sense to you...am I supposed to be able to make sense of that.........? Wrong guy, man, I may not agree with this or that position but words do make sense to me even so.
Here again, I can only remind you that I'm not the typical atheist, as you are. I'm not an agnostic....but still, I find it difficult to believe that you don't understand your own position in this way. The believing set has clearly poisoned the well so effectively that you're distancing yourself from it literally as you drink. That's part of my antitheism, bluntly.
Me: I don't consider my atheist, and here's why. (gives half a dozen reason why)
You: Nuh uh! You're atheist. Your'e ATHEIST!
Is the motivation for 97 pages of that really only an interest in semantics? Why wouldn't you just leave it at "Well, that's not really how I see it, but whatevs," and, realizing that to me it's an important difference, not keep trolling me about it? What's the currency involved here, bruh? Why are you fighting so hard to ensure that I understand that like it or not, I'm one of you?
Recall that I'm responding to your comments that the difference between a-unicornism and atheism as a motivation is somehow an issue of semantics and no one spends time on such even as you yourself are a productive member of these boards. You're not just confused about your own atheism..you have trouble with words and basic self awareness.
