Atheism's Definition - Stanford Encyclopedia of Philosophy

RE: Atheism's Definition - Stanford Encyclopedia of Philosophy
Quote:Traditionally speaking, the definition in our entry--that 'atheism'
means the denial of the existence of God--is correct in the
philosophical literature.
Nice. He makes appeals to tradition, then an appeal to authority by quoting Antony Flew (as if that should have any bearing on the label) and concludes by conflating philosophical aesthetics with the definition of any given word.

Given his insightful response and window into his, peculiar psyche, we honestly shouldn't be surprised the man cannot distinguish atheism from agnosticism.

Little wonder he doesn't then assert another man's lack of money makes him an anti-capitalist.
