You are just trying to "split the hair." You, like most atheists, do not "see" it correctly, because it shifts your understanding of the definition of theism and atheism, because the dictionaries use the ambiguous term "belief" in the definitions. Theists like the term, because it suggests a supernatural phenomenon that has to occur in cognitive processing. And that is what atheists like to use to counter by suggesting that the cognitive phenomenon does not occur in them. Atheists are correct when they explain that belief in god is indoctrinated, but fail to understand that that means that it is a doctrine that the theist really "believe in" - support of the doctrine.
SEE?

Well, I certainly find his rudeness endearing. It’s adorable that he thinks he get under my skin.

We've seen it all too many times before. It's like a sequel of a sequel of a sequel.
And it's not like the internet is a new invention, that people should be surprised when their own "brilliant ideas" are not shared by others.

Not me. I’m still trying to get him to understand what ‘believe’ means.

Well, a few things. One, I didn't say you were a troll. I would say your posting is highly erratic and nonsensical, which is indicative of either being a bored troll on summer vacation or mentally unwell, possibly both. (Neither are mutually exclusive options)
If your knee-jerk reaction to being told to have an enjoyable outdoors walk is to call people names, I suggest you might need to get off the internet for a while.
As for my forum standing. I am subject to the same rules you are, of which you have broken many and continue to do so.

And be prepared to be disappointed, because even if your charter system is sound, the people who have the credetial power are going to be jealous that you figured out how to do it.

When it comes to the theist-atheist dichotomy, I am an atheist. I do not support the doctrine of the existence of a god or a supernatural dimension of human existence. I thought that was listed on my identity profile on each post. Yes, it is the "Religious Views" caption. I see you have used someone else's joke for your explanation of your religious views, so why the fuck do you care about anyone's actual beliefs? Do you believe that beliefs form the principles for the individual's formulations of reason?
The subject of this discussion reveals my beliefs about the reliability of the Three-part Separation Theory. And there is no doubt you have never encountered a reasoned criticism of it before, except from the theist religions. I can guarantee that I am the only American atheist who is not subservient to the Constitutional dogma that you believe in.
The discussion has also revealed that I am the only atheist willing to contest the efficacy of the Dewey Decimal and Library of Congress classification systems.
And I am willing to contest the definitions of religion, belief, theism, and atheism.
What are your actual beliefs? You should be too afraid to discuss them, because they are faulty. Littered with dogma.
