Atheism and morality

[Simon Moon]

Here we go then......first, 'atheism'. I take atheism to be 'true' if there are no gods of any kind, and false if there are any gods (thor, Zeus, you name it). Ooo, that's got you hot under the collar hasn't it?? Yessss. You prefer an incoherent definition, that way you insulate your position against any possible refutation as one cannot attack fog.

The phrase "I take atheism to be 'true' if there are no gods of any kind, and false if there are any gods" is incoherent and reflects a very philosophically unsophisticated understanding of the term.

I use 'atheist'.....wait for it.....to refer to someone who believes atheism (see above) is 'true'.

Again, the phrase "atheism is true" makes no sense. It is true that I am an atheist because I do not accept that the claim that a god exists has met its burden of proof.

It sounds like you are trying to pass the burden of proof to atheists.

I use 'theism' to mean someone the view that a very specific kind of god exists, namely one that created the universe, is omnipotent, omniscient, and perfectly morally good.

I have never heard the word 'theist' defined as such.

I don't understand why you feel the need to redefine words? Is it to obfuscate your lack of coherent arguments?
