I realized.
My point is exactly the definition I gave.

Does lack of sex mean you are against sex?

Yes.

Yes.
Prove it.
Which is better:
To die with ignorance, or to live with intelligence?

I'm not.

I am opposed to the claim of God being true, not opposed to someone else's belief that the claim of God is true.

Because you are a-unicorn does that mean you are anti-unicorn?
Let me better explain my point. I contend that any position you have on any matter, negates all other positions by default(if simply because it is different from them).
You didn't explain anything, you simply restated what I already implied.

If you don't partake in sex at any given moment in time in which sense are you for it?

Why do you have a problem with the difference between lack of and against?

Because I believe it's a source of confusion of a linguistic nature.
