[split] Agnostic atheism is the only intellectually honest position

No. It looks like you are referring to the mathematical or physics use. At the risk of freaking people out here, I am going by the general, non-field-specific dictionary definitions which refer to there being no boundries, limits, borders, etc. Math and physics have their own specific meaning.

Doesn't matter anyways, since the only dictionary use of 'infinite Mind' as a def for god, is the christian science version.

I'm not so sure I'm going to do any youtube on this anymore. Too weird a reaction. Almost like I'm being told I'm doing atheism the wrong way, that I'm not a true Scotsman or something. I expected people to generally accept the dictionary definitions and discuss things from there, but I was obviously wrong about that. If that can't be agreed upon as the best current source of gathered, accepted definitions, then there is really no point to it all. I am quite surprised though, and a bit disappointed.

If the dictionary is disputed, then I have no ability to use, nor any expectation of defs being believed anyways of, the coiners of newer atheism subcategories, such as George H. Smith's explicit vs implicit atheism, and Antony Flew's positive vs negative atheism, and Dawkins' spectrum of theistic probability (the 1-7 scale), so I'm stopped before I can even start.

I'm not the type to keep bashing my head against a wall once I see that it's brick. Oh well, fuck it.
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...
