What came first, the atheist or the theist?

I think so. You are refusing to accept that the true definition of atheism is the so-called 'weak' atheism. You are convinced that only the so-called 'strong' atheism counts.

The reality is that the 'weak' one IS atheism. The 'strong' one simply has an optional, additional thing to it which DOES require theism to exist first. Only the 'weak' one is the actual definition of atheism. There is no need for the additional 'strong' stuff to be there.

Did you understand what was meant by the differences between the 'weak' and 'strong' forms?
I'm really shitty at giving kudos and rep. That's because I would be inconsistent in remembering to do them, and also I don't really want it to show if any favouritism is happening. Even worse would be inconsistencies causing false favouritisms to show. So, fuck it. Just assume that I've given you some good rep and a number of kudos, and everyone should be happy...
