Quote:I use 'theist' to mean 'believes in the existence of a theistic god'. If you don't use it that way, I don't care. That's how I use it and it is how I intend on continuing using it, so get used to it.

Dictionaries just follow popular usage and popular usage is often confused, misleading and silly because the population is largely composed of people who possess those attributes.

You could be a comedian you know? It's a wonderful gift.
