Ehh what is this?
September 26, 2014 at 5:06 am
I've heard someone say this today:
We all know that we only have to call them :atheus: and we are already beating the atheist on a internet debate.
Emm, is this some kind of slang or something? Does atheus has some deeper meaning or offensive tone that I'm unaware of?

It's latin and it means male atheist, no? I'm not sure why that indicates that anyone is winning anything, except maybe a guerre des langues...

Whoa, watch out then, they are hauling out the big guns. Better become Christian before they find something in the Apocrypha which could be used to insinuate a subtle reference to yo mama.

Okay I asked and apparently atheus is a term that it's commonly said in spanish speaking language. So I assume that, that's the reason of why any of you don't know it(So I felt a little silly for asking you guys, sorry). But then they told me that it's a common term that most of all world religious debaters know since the person I asked said that she has heard foreign people use it.
Then I asked: yeah but what does it mean.
And she said: I don't remember correctly but you're the atheist one you should know it.

I'm gonna be honest with you guys. I'm starting to feel a little frustrated.

Get used to that feeling.
I am the Infantry. I am my country’s strength in war, her deterrent in peace. I am the heart of the fight… wherever, whenever. I carry America’s faith and honor against her enemies. I am the Queen of Battle. I am what my country expects me to be, the best trained Soldier in the world. In the race for victory, I am swift, determined, and courageous, armed with a fierce will to win. Never will I fail my country’s trust. Always I fight on…through the foe, to the objective, to triumph overall. If necessary, I will fight to my death. By my steadfast courage, I have won more than 200 years of freedom. I yield not to weakness, to hunger, to cowardice, to fatigue, to superior odds, For I am mentally tough, physically strong, and morally straight. I forsake not, my country, my mission, my comrades, my sacred duty. I am relentless. I am always there, now and forever. I AM THE INFANTRY! FOLLOW ME!

Must be some slang, the spanish word is ateísta, or ateo.

Probably a derogatory or dismissive term, the par isn't that great with these people mate.
