If the voice in your head says so, it must be so.
I guess it never occurred to you that if the people on the other end of the coin at the time the word “atheist” was minted we’re deists, we would be using the term adeists.
Not “obvious” enough...and here you are trying to argue over the defining chacteristics of a theistic god, plainly accurately and simply stated to you... by reference to the word atheist?
Fuck that chicken, fuck it hard. Tell me how theism doesn’t mean what theism means, because atheist.
- and here’s the kicker....atheists could call themselves cabbages....and theism would still explicitly refer to a personal and intervening god.
So here’s what I think. I’m done trying to educate a pissy brick. If you insist that theism is somehow required for moral realism, then you need to cut all this silly shit out and get to explaining how realism requires the personal and intervening god you believe in, that defines theism.
Because that’s the -only- way to support that assertion.
The rest is just stalling for time in the absence of any such explanation.
