Quote:I haven't changed any definitions or changed my line of questioning in this thread. I don't know where you think I've tried a "bait and switch".
Exactly where and how I've indicated it.
Quote:"People who aren't christians" isn't a belief, because it isn't a proposition. It's not even a sentence.
"People who are jews" isn't a belief, because it isn't a proposition. It's not even a sentence. I knew I could count on you to respond to your own statements if I just provided you with the opportunity.
Quote:No, it doesn't seem pointless. It seems worth thinking about. That's why I'm trying to get at precisely how you decide which beliefs are truly motivational.
Easy, when people say "I did this because" whatever follows is motivational. So, when we hear "I did this because GodWillsIt™", that falls under the header of motivational.
Quote:Well, according to the definition that I've used consistently through this thread--which is entirely consistent with your own definition--all of those belief systems are atheist. None of them include the believe "At least one god exists"; none of them are theist, therefore they're all atheist.
If they aren't atheist, why aren't they atheist? If atheism is the lack of theism, and they aren't atheist, wouldn't that make them theist?
Well, at least one of the three statements at the start must be entirely incorrect then huh?
You had atheism pegged maybe 4 posts ago, why ask me questions when you've already demonstrated that you know the answers? Maybe you should spend more time dissecting your own thoughts and comparing them to each other?
