Atheism's Definition - Stanford Encyclopedia of Philosophy

Play the citation game with your own post. Erase the parts where you're just making up shit and have no citations to back up your assertions, and post the remaining three or four words that remain.
Until you start accepting corrections, I'm not going to waste time with the citations. Let me know when you stop conflating belief & knowledge.

Quote:Incidentally, regarding Ben Davis' quote in your post, I had to chuckle that be misspelled Merriam. And I double-chuckled when I saw how Merriam-Webster defined atheism.
*tuts
Yeah, spelling mistakes really damage my position, don't they. Also:
Merriam-Webster Online Wrote:Definition of ATHEISM

1
archaic : ungodliness, wickedness
2
a : a disbelief in the existence of deity
b : the doctrine that there is no deity

They still don't list the full etymology: they don't show that the 2 definitions root from different words (theos/atheos) but their current definitions are better than they were.
