Theist = believing in at least one God.
And EDIT:
But some of those things we have a concept of do not exist. Again, this is just you saying shit. "We have a CONCEPT of time but it is not a concept" how the fuck would you know? You realize physicist still struggle with this? And we can draw a fucking triangle, it is defined as having only three sides - by ourselves, mind you.

Asking me why morality can't be a concept is like asking me why a triangle can't have four sides. Because it isn't a concept, is my answer. Concepts are concepts. Then there are the things conceived - those are the things we have concepts of. We have a concept of time, of space, of morality, of unicorns, of father Christmas, of a god, and so on and so on.
