What came first, the atheist or the theist?

I am calm. I want you to understand the meaning of the word "Atheism", especially if you're going to profess yourself as one.

Spencer Wrote: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.
If you knew the differences then we wouldn't be having this discussion. You are arguing with the current working-definitions. You aren't actually debating with us properly yet, because you are disputing the labels of Atheism and Theism and then confusing them with the very separate issue of Agnosticism, all of which words that have their own associated meanings, ones that have long since been established.

Spencer Wrote: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?
Stop. We've spent more time on this tedious trivial subject matter with you, and just you, than many of us would have liked to primarily owing to your obstinate stubbornness. Now you're insinuating this forum is full of hostile dicks. I hope to have more adult conversations with you in the future but at this point in time its looking increasingly unlikely.

So we're in agreement that atheists were around before theists?
Apologies for the double post, fr0d0s reply was deleted.

Yes but the God of the Bible doesn't believe in other gods, that inadvertently makes him an atheist. Big Grin
