Indecipherable nonsense.

Can't even string a few words together to make a coherent sentence?

Red ball is calling

Yes, I'm Malaysian and English is not my first language . . . but I know "He lacks three votes to win", does not means "He have no votes"

Can you speak Malay ?

Lack-the state of being without or not having enough of something.

I guess I can see why you are confused. Lacking faith means that you don't have enough, not you don't have any. Lack, when used in defining the word atheism, means without. An atheist is simply a person who is without a belief in any gods.

Nope and you won't find me on any Malay forums trying to pass out incorrect definitions. You have an obvious lack of understanding when it comes to the English language. An atheist doesn't have a belief in any gods, that is the only thing we all have in common.

No.

But talking indecipherable bullshit I would guess is the same in any language.

And you don't need to be able to speak English to think coherently either, something you've failed to display in, what, around 130 posts so far?

Good work kid! Keep fighting the good fight.

Now, when will you play with your ball?

Actually, it can: strictly speaking "he lacks three votes to win" means he doesn't have three votes, meaning he has between zero and whatever number of votes is three less than the current leader. But zero, nothing, is still on that scale.

In this case, atheist means "lack of belief in god," as in "has zero belief in a god."

There. Are you happy now? Are you proud of being intractable and obtuse for no reason? Have you gained anything by stalling the conversation on a ridiculous technicality that, in context, doesn't even exist?

You don't have enough means, there is "faith", but it is not enough.

Therefore, there is "faith".

So does it means. . .

= Without a belief in any gods
= Lack of belief in any gods
= No belief in any gods

or it means something else ?

Okay, so according to you

Lack of belief = No belief

It can mean that, and does in the context of atheism, but doesn't always mean that. You're aware words can have more than one use or meaning, right?

So you believe in god or deities (but lack of belief) ?

Now you're either being willfully dishonest or unintentionally catastrophically stupid.

Nope. . I want to know what it really means.

If it is "lack", then there is believe in god and deity

It is okay, I have no intention to laugh or mocking anyone.

I just want to know the truth in any contention or conclusion.
