Modal Argument: The Mind is Not the Brain

[Ben Davis]

Actually the definition of 'atheism' can refer to the 'ism of atheos'

Shhhhh. Them's lynching words in these here parts.

I've given the lecture on assembling ternary word forms in atheism at least a dozen times, I think, and explained "hard" and "soft" atheism. I'm glad there's at least one other person here who knows how words work.

I've discussed the etymology a few times on a few different threads. Those with big enough memories will know that I'm a stickler for accurate definitions, especially regarding use of the word 'atheist/m'.

It's also worth saying that since 'atheos' roots from 'theos', 'a-theism' is a superior form to 'athe-ism'. As long as people are clear about their definitions, I'm happy.
