So, I’m not really sure why he’s here. I’m inclined to direct him to the editorial staff at Merriam-Webster. How about this, Frank? From now on, all people who don’t believe in gods and who don’t believe no gods exist will be called film-flams. People who don’t believe in god and also believe no gods exist will be called strong flim flams, and we can re-name the site FlimFlamForums.org. We can excise the word “atheist” right out of the English language. Would that appease you?
If you want to be known as an atheist...use the designation.
Stop trying to deem everyone who does not "believe" a god exists...an atheist.
As I mentioned earlier...Einstein, Hawking, Sagan, Tyson...all do not "believe" any gods exist...and they all said they were not atheists.
I know, I know...you people would like agnostics and other non-theists to be counted as atheists.
Tough.
We are not.

You believe in a god. If you say you don’t, I call bullshit.
You apparently think I give a shit what you call "bullshit" on.
Okay.
Kinda cute.
I smiled.
