No, because those terms had not been created then. It is what we call them NOW, but not then.
You can have your opinion and I can have mine, try not to get to excited.
There are opinions and then there are informed opinions, specifically ones based on information. We're tried various examples and you've rejected them all and offer no counter-argument other than that "agree to disagree" bullshit. You identify yourself as an 'atheist' yet repeatedly you display a lack of understanding of what the label and its meaning actually state to the point where I'm half-expecting you to "magically convert to theism" on us anytime now. You have a mental block that is preventing you from understanding the fundamental differences between atheism, theism, agnosticism.
Go educate yourself first.
Calm down son, we're only talking. I do not believe in God or any of the bullshit around it. So you label me then. I know the differences between all of those and I have offered up SEVERAL arguments other than agree to disagree. Yet you guys refuse to see any other explanation than your own. I do plan on educating myself more, I thought that is why I came here, I forgot the internet was full of such dicks.
Why such hostility?
