Because it is gratuitous...and because I do not believe any gods exist...AND I AM NOT AN ATHEIST.

That's why.

So because you don't like it. Good luck with that.

The fact it was defined in a way in all dictionaries before the 1950s doesn't mean shit.

You should have started with that: "I reject atheism... as defined in pre-1950s dictionaries."

Would have cleared up a lot of confusion.

What the fuck happened in between?

A whole bunch of shit...some of it interesting and funny...some of it sob-provoking.

Usual Internet forum stuff.

Have you considered that you might be the asshole here?

No, of course you haven't.

Indeed, and not every sandwich is ham sandwich. Just you and I and most of the folks on this board.
I am the Infantry. I am my country’s strength in war, her deterrent in peace. I am the heart of the fight… wherever, whenever. I carry America’s faith and honor against her enemies. I am the Queen of Battle. I am what my country expects me to be, the best trained Soldier in the world. In the race for victory, I am swift, determined, and courageous, armed with a fierce will to win. Never will I fail my country’s trust. Always I fight on…through the foe, to the objective, to triumph overall. If necessary, I will fight to my death. By my steadfast courage, I have won more than 200 years of freedom. I yield not to weakness, to hunger, to cowardice, to fatigue, to superior odds, For I am mentally tough, physically strong, and morally straight. I forsake not, my country, my mission, my comrades, my sacred duty. I am relentless. I am always there, now and forever. I AM THE INFANTRY! FOLLOW ME!

I always consider that possibility.

Nope...not this time.

Doesn't this all seem silly to you? You know that you're a ham sandwich, but you also know that you don't reject gods. Not that finding someone who does is something you'd like to discuss, you know, with some questions for the posters here....or anything.....

Another missed opportunity for everyone's favorite deli product, I suppose.

Whatever. This is dumb.

There is a real discussion to be had. Do you want to have that discussion or not? A real criticism can be leveled at the position: "I deny the existence of god(s)." Do you want to make that criticism or not?
