The Three Groups of Theism and Two Groups of Atheism

[Tails Turrosaki]

Tails,

No no, please no tacking terms together to form new words. You are engaging in a thought process that will ultimately hinder your growth as an open-minded human being. I see the problem and hope that I am eloquent enought to reveal the problem with these terms with which you have proven to be quite enamored.

You are melding words that are descriptive while avoiding any pejorative conotation (theist, atheist) and melding them with words that describe YOUR opinion of the person and add nothing to the conversation other than the prejudice of the one writing the post. It is easy to agree with the labels theist and atheist without too much trouble, but when you fuse your opinions to them they become intolerable even if they are meant as compliments. For example, no matter how intelligent someone found me I would find the label "intelligatheist" intolerable.

I know, opinions are like assholes; nobody wants anyone else's shoved in their face! I have seen your posts and every time I see one of those words, a clangor is raised in my head such that none can abide!

Please bin those words.

First of all... Aren't you exaggerating a bit? =^^=; I make up words all of the time. It's fun.

Yes, I am adding my own opinions. :S But supposedly when I created those a while ago, nobody else really cared. =3= And now I've gotten hooked on 'em. Perhaps it is a bit prejudice, but it's more stereotypical rather prejudice. It would be the same as saying, "That post was very descriptive and very much useful, I applaud your efforts." I don't see why I should say that when I could simply say, "That was intelligatheistic." Opinions aren't always valued in debates, nor do they count for anything, but they're expressive. I do not like holding myself back. If a friend asks me, "Is my hair OK?" I will give them a straightforward answer from my opinion (with a polite attitude). Opinions are always in debates anyhow. Wouldn't a belief be considered an opinion? "I believe that the world was created by God." "I think that the world was created by God." They're similar, nearly... I'm probably wrong, though. I'm always wrong. 8D

Considering I'm an artist, I consider opinions very valuable. They're diamonds in disguise. But I also might add that your post was opinionated as well... I didn't take it offensively nor intolerably.

I will lower the use of those words, but do not expect me to change what I say so quickly... I'm sentimental about myself.
