Neo-Scholastic Wrote: I don't understand why so may atheists are ashamed to say plainly that they don't believe in God. Instead, like Khem, they have to go into these long-winded explanations making all kinds of subtle distinctions, like gnostic versus agnostic atheists. Who cares?
Are you really attempting to dumb down and trivialize these distinctions? Who cares? Well everyone seems to care on this forum and the distinctions are used to give a more granular understanding of our position. Also, you kinda defeat yourself when you say that the question of whether or not god exists is soooooo important and with the same breath trivialize the answer you are given.
