Most of us don't need to go through the effort of making guesses one way or the other, we're not capable of believing that there are gods, full stop.
Is your description of atheists based on what you do, as an atheist, and are you so dense as to imagine that everyone everywhere was like you? That would explain why what you believed was a rational product, even if it were laughably wrong. When you figure that one out, I can help you work through the ironic suggestion that you won't be dictated to. I think that it's pretty clear you have been. Dictated to by people who's claims you don't believe and can't explain if asked....... and yet.......
The people who believe in a thing you don't believe in told you that even if they couldn't prove their ghosts and fairies moved in reality...you..at least, couldn't prove them wrong...and you accepted it. Cuck.
So far, the main thing I have said about atheists is: The reason people use “atheist” as a self-descriptor or as part of a self-descriptor is because they “believe” that there are no gods…or they “believe” that it is more likely that there are no gods than that there is at least one.
The bullshit that they are using that descriptor because a dictionary instructs them to do so…is just that…BULLSHIT.
But in your case, I will make an exception, Nudger. You may actually be such a sheep that you use atheist because you are afraid you will insult the publishers of dictionaries if you do not do so.

He'll never get it. Time to let this thread wither. Maybe Frank can be reborn with a new thread subject.
I do "get it", Brewer. Honestly, I do.
The people not getting it are the ones who refuse to see that what I am saying about people who use the word atheist as a descriptor...is dead on.
Oh, thanks for the Kudos for my picture in the Forum pictures thread. Last year and this have aged me considerably...and I enjoy looking at those pix as a remembrance.
