But do you accept the argument?If not,why?

1. Theists exist. They're everywhere.
2. Theists do define their gods. In fact they have special books that detail their exploits.
3. Atheists are those that simply don't accept these claims.

This isn't difficult.

1. Theists do not exists.People exists.People that think they are theists exist.But theists do not exist.
    Its impossible for a theist to exist.
2. They do have books like bible and shit but they DO NOT define their god consistently.
3. Atheists are those that don't accept these claims which cannot be made in the first place.

Theism is stupid because it is believing in a god when theism don't even specify what a god is.That's like believing in fldsmdfrism. xD (Everyone agreed with me on this point. hehe)
Since there is no longer a mother - she no longer gave birth to theists and atheists.Just like POOF theists and atheists are no longer there.
But if atheists are stubborn enough to exist then they are rejecting a claim that is not being made,which would make them the group that is making the claim - that they reject the claim of theists(but there is no claim theists are making because they can't because even theists don't know what god is.
You're an atheist, you're just in the contrarian phase right now - nothing bad about being a contrarian, only you took it a little too far, beyond reason.
Of course theists and atheists are both terms that shouldn't even exist but the fact is there are theists in this world who can cause great harm because of their beliefs. So here enter us atheists, a group of people who know how ridiculous it is to make up a word like aunicornist and wear it like a badge yet see in all seriousness that it's needed. If we were to just drop everything and not care about theists and what they believe you would find yourself pretty soon living in the Middle Ages again and even worse. And if you don't know enough history to know what that means, as it's apparent that you don't, it means shorter life span, great probability for you to be(come) a slave, worse standart of living overall, higher risk of premature death and sickness, and so on.

Either that or you're just on a self-sacrificing mission to change atheists' minds about God.

I'll just stop here with this rant lest I break some rule I didn't understand very well, like the one about targeting your audience too much.*
*Some help here? Am I allowed to speak to him even though he ignores me? =)

You're awesome.
The morally apt stand for me to take would be to be an Atheist.
The logically apt stand for me to take would be to be neither.

It's like a constant battle i have with myself.If you know what i mean.

Edit:

I would be more than happy if atheists were to realize this and understand that they are atheists because of morality and not because of logic.
That their logic is faulty just like theists.
I'd also like atheists to not make fun of or be assholes to theists that are generally good people not all theists can be crazy kukkoos.I saw some person that was generally a good guy in this forum as i was reading through the forum but so many of the atheists here made fun of him and accused him of trying to convert the atheists in this forum and generally being a bunch of assholes,he was hurt and made it evident,but atheists that was making fun of him didn't stop,like they're so smart and that theism is just so plain dumb,bleh c'mon,it's plain rude bro.
