The fact that unicornism doesn't drive important things the way that theism does isn't semantic..that's not at all what that word means.

That's the semantic difference.
Quote:"Atheism" as a lack of theism doesn't make sense to me-- I don't see how you could be presented with a God idea and not answer "I think that's bullshit." But "atheist" as a lack of being theist-- that is meaningful. You recognize that many people are theist, and you're saying "I'm not one of those guys."You're only telling me that words don't make sense to you...am I supposed to be able to make sense of that.........? Wrong guy, man, I may not agree with this or that position but words do make sense to me even so.
Here again, I can only remind you that I'm not the typical atheist, as you are. I'm not an agnostic....but still, I find it difficult to believe that you don't understand your own position in this way. The believing set has clearly poisoned the well so effectively that you're distancing yourself from it literally as you drink. That's part of my antitheism, bluntly.
I am the Infantry. I am my country’s strength in war, her deterrent in peace. I am the heart of the fight… wherever, whenever. I carry America’s faith and honor against her enemies. I am the Queen of Battle. I am what my country expects me to be, the best trained Soldier in the world. In the race for victory, I am swift, determined, and courageous, armed with a fierce will to win. Never will I fail my country’s trust. Always I fight on…through the foe, to the objective, to triumph overall. If necessary, I will fight to my death. By my steadfast courage, I have won more than 200 years of freedom. I yield not to weakness, to hunger, to cowardice, to fatigue, to superior odds, For I am mentally tough, physically strong, and morally straight. I forsake not, my country, my mission, my comrades, my sacred duty. I am relentless. I am always there, now and forever. I AM THE INFANTRY! FOLLOW ME!
