What do you call a non follower of neither atheism or theism

RE: What do you call a non follower of neither atheism or theism
(January 17, 2014 at 6:41 pm)Sword of Christ Wrote: Do you believe in God/non-material reality beyond the physical world? If you answer yes then you're a theist or whatever else you are and if you answer no then you're a materialist, just the material natural world as you see it nothing else. You can still be open minded to the other possibilities a materialist as a theist can believe in God yet have some doubts. I'd materialism as seriously as I would take a belief in God or a religion, you choose a team and you stick with it. Someone will be right and someone will be mistaken.

So, your entire argument hinges on this desire you have that we define atheism and theism exclusively by the definitions you want to use, and not the definitions that they actually have. Your position is a dishonest word game, made by a person who either does not know, or does not care to know, what the words he bandies around mean, and I'm not going to play it.

You're wrong. I've explained to you what the words mean, and my definitions are present in the root words the terms are derived from. They are the most accurate one can get, and if you're just going to sit there and shake your head and have a tantrum whenever anyone uses the correct definitions in place of yours, then that's your problem, and not mine or anyone else's.

Words mean things. Stop trying to twist them to fit your dishonest argument.

Quote: Though perhaps you're not really all convinced by this atheism business? It's just more fashionable to claim and go along with, gives you some intellectual credibility perhaps, I think there quite lot of self claimed atheists like that around but they're not really buying into it.
