I apologize for not having read all 10 pages of this thread, which is in poor taste I know, god will judge me later. So if what I am about to say has already been said please feel free to pray and ask that I be smitten.
Theism was created by man as a way to explain things they didn't understand. Doesn't make it right.
"before the concept of god was created, humans were not non believers in god, because they had no idea what it was that they weren't believing in. wow, that's one hell of a sentence right there!"
Because it hadn't been posed yet as a ridiculous explanation as to why the sun set everyday.
So I am confused, what is your stance on someone who is ignorant to the many fallacies of the world?
I see your line of thought, they are neither theist's or atheist's because they do not hold enough knowledge to make a decision one way or another. Would that then mean everyone is agnostic by default?
I guess on further thought to the question posed IE "What came first, the atheist or the theist?" I would have to say yes Theist came first because it was nonsense created by man. Yes how could you have a non belief in something that hadn't yet been created?
