I'll renew my claim that atheism refers to a class of belief systems--specifically, those systems which do not include (or imply) the proposition, "At least one god exists". In this way, in order to be classified as an 'atheist', one must have a belief system that falls into the Atheist class; cats and trees don't have belief systems, so in particular they don't have belief systems that fall under Atheism.
You are amazing. I thought it was physically impossible to achieve a higher level of stupidity and disingenuousness then I had attributed to you yesterday. But your god has worked another miracle and made you even stupider and more disingenuous than even my wide ranging and far reaching imagination had thought possible.
Let's see, we've got ad hominem, and...well, that's about it. Do you have any actual logical arguments to make? Or are you just not that interested in rational debate?
