There is a word that describes unexpected diarrhea caused by eating off fish AND peaches or a succession of farts in a short period.

My point.

There are all sorts of words for things and Having a word for someone who does not believe in gods is more convenient than saying I do not believe in gods everytime.

It also sounds a bit less like being a douche for a theist to say "I hate that atheist" than to say " I hate that person who doesn't believe the same thing I do"



You can fix ignorance, you can't fix stupid.
