Question about death to Atheists.

[downbeatplumb]

Perhaps because you need to look in sources dealing with theology?

Btw that definition is from Strongs greek lexicon...

But how far into the internet should I tumble to find evidence for what you say? I googled Thanatos and theology and am currently on page 5 with no reference to separation.

The closest I came was this.

Death of God theology is a predominately Christian theological movement, originating in the 1960s, in which God is posited as having ceased to exist, often at the crucifixion. It can also refer to a theology which includes a disbelief in traditional theism, especially in light of increasing secularism in parts of the West. The Death of God movement is sometimes technically referred to as "theothanatology," deriving from the Greek theos (God) and thanatos (death). The main proponents of this radical theology included the Christian theologians Gabriel Vahanian, Paul Van Buren, William Hamilton, John A.T. Robinson, Thomas J. J. Altizer, Mark C. Taylor, John D. Caputo, the rabbi Richard L. Rubenstein, and Peter Rollins.

I then googled thanatos and separation and lo there appeared a plethora of sources saying that it means that, but only from modern christian biblical sources. Interestingly when you look at greek transaltions of thanatos what it means is different to what the biblical apologists say.

 So I think that theologians changed the meaning of the word they were translating to meet their ideas.

They lied.

A trumpian move from the bible belt there.
