When you objected to the definition of "atheist" I was using and I explained I'm an atheist in every sense of the word, it's not my definition, it's the dictionary's definition, you could have just admitted you were wrong... And then that would have been the end of it.
Point is, yes I never became an atheist, but I'm still as much of an atheist as anyone else. Are you going to admit that?
This was my quibble with the question in the first place: It assumes everyone used to previously be a theist. It's a loaded question. It should instead be something like: "Former theists who lost your belief, how did you lose it?".
The problem is always that you have trouble admitting when you're wrong and conceding a point, and you call me an "asshole" for merely disagreeing with you. I am not an asshole. At all.
The dictionary definition doesn't have to point out that it describes ex-theists too for you to understand that it does. And as such I was referring to that subset definition in this thread.
At the end of the day, you're still an asshole for taking issue with it. Very much so.
I shouldn't have to include you in my thread for you to take a hint that it's not about you.
