I'm happy to use whatever definitions you want for any given discussion. But what isn't acceptable to me is to then try and use my definitions to make a point after we've agreed to use yours; or vice versa. That's called an equivocation fallacy.
No one expects you to call yourself an atheist while you are here. But if you insist you are "different" to us, we're going to take issue, when you describe exactly the same position. I call that "elite agnosticism". We've had a few here like that.
I understand, yes. To be fair, I was never insistent on being different. It was a pointless discussion about different interpretations of terminology, however, and for that, I apologize.
