Would these people be less confused if I said I'm a nontheist, or I'm not a theist?

How about if we stipulate from the beginning that we are non theists, non believers and non giveashitters?  Maybe that would help with their confusion?

The fact that you can choke to death while eating suggests that there is no such thing as "intelligent design."   Or an intelligent "designer."

If we were so badly designed then according to evolution we would have died off...

I've got to call bullshit. An organism doesn't die out because it has design flaws. It's like not getting eaten by a grizzly. You don't have to be an olympic sprinter you just have to hike with slower runners than yourself. So long as an organism's flaws are less debilitating than those of the other organisms competing for the same niche, no dying off need ensue.

If you could design not only the life forms but the rules of reality that they live in, would you decide to have them excrete smelly and toxic shit? Considering God could presumably just not do that, and have everything else the same, he essentially chose it to be there.

I wonder if there's an arbitrary restriction that explains this? Or just "fuck you that's why"? Or a problem he created so he could overcome it? Was he that desperate to make his work look like the result of mindless natural processes?

You're damned right, Rob.  If it was up to me, we'd excrete nothing more toxic than a marshmallow.  You may just have stumbled onto an irrefutable proof for the non existence of an intelligent designer.  If you get the nobel, I'd like to come to the ceremony.
