Quote:But atheism doesn't work like that. It isn't a he it is a they. Atheism rejects the claim that a god or gods exist. Not exclusively Jehovah God.Last I checked....you don't get to redefine things. Atheism means without theism. Like it or go away.
Quote:Its just a word applied as a title to anyone or anything mighty or venerated in as much that it is attributed a might greater than the beholder.Uh-huh. So you assign the word 'god' to a person or to an imaginary higher power that 'you' believe is mighty and all that bollocks. I see.
Quote:I already have defined the term God in general in English, ancient Hebrew and Greek, and I've named gods mentioned in the Bible. Jesus, Moses, the Judges of Israel. Here is another, the Sumerian King Tammuz. There are what, 16 humans that were called gods in the Bible.Looked up the definition of 'god' and this is what I found -
Quote:1. the one Supreme Being, the creator and ruler of the universe.
2.
the Supreme Being considered with reference to a particular attribute: the God of Islam.
3.
( lowercase ) one of several deities, especially a male deity, presiding over some portion of worldly affairs.
4.
( often lowercase ) a supreme being according to some particular conception: the god of mercy.
5.
Christian Science . the Supreme Being, understood as Life, Truth, love, Mind, Soul, Spirit, Principle.
- Deity, creator, supreme being. Ain't that lovely.
So I think you know what I'm talking about when I say I lack belief in 'god'. The popular definition of it.

Mankind's intelligence walks hand in hand with it's stupidity.
Being an atheist says nothing about your overall intelligence, it just means you don't believe in god. Atheists can be as bright as any scientist and as stupid as any creationist.
You never really know just how stupid someone is, until you've argued with them.
