If I was in that situation I'd put down the dictionary, grab a glass of orange juice, then go outside and enjoy the sunshine and the glass of orange juice and try to forget why the fuck I was worrying about the definition of the word "atheism."

Good point, it is dumb but it really makes me mad, because it is so arrogant to try to define what someone else believes just so you can make a point easier. Maybe we should define Christianity for Christians.
To-morrow, and to-morrow, and to-morrow,
Creeps in this petty pace from day to day,
To the last syllable of recorded time;
And all our yesterdays have lighted fools
The way to dusty death. Out, out, brief candle!
Life's but a walking shadow, a poor player,
That struts and frets his hour upon the stage,
And then is heard no more. It is a tale
Told by an idiot, full of sound and fury,
Signifying nothing.
