JGetbentKilljoy: "You think calling us theists helps your case? There is no such position as the imaginary internet coined term "theist."
Of course there is. It's someone who still needs an imaginary friend in the sky. It's Santa up there, just for them, giving them gifts after they die. It's a fantasy King who tells them "you're much specialler than all of the other stupid hoomans". It's an imaginary Father who tells them what to do. It's someone who lets priests and preachers tell them what to think. It's someone who is afraid to ask questions. It's someone who believes that deities exist. That's a theist.
An atheist doesn't see enough empirical evidence for those beliefs. When god shows up and says "hi", I'll change my mind. Simple.
Nothing you waste your time typing into an internet forum is going to have any effect on anything.
