Subject: RE: BS: The 'moral' Atheist?
"They are actually "anti-theists" rather than atheists."

Actually I'm a 'non-theist' (constantly misrepresented as an anti-theist) - a 'non-something' is defined as just saying 'no to the concept'. The 'a' bit means 'not part of' from the Latin to mean away'. It is simply represented by a Venn Diagram having a circle inside of an area. Inside the circle is all 'theism' (where the 'theists' live) all outside the circle is 'non-theism', which is where the 'a-theists' live. Never the twain shall (and can) meet or overlap, but they both exist simultaneously, if one lets the other live...

What part of just saying 'no' to a whole concept cannot they who are brainwashed to have the concept so deeply embedded in their thought processes understand?

One wonders whether they are consciously trying to pervert the meaning of things they are uncomfortable with, or whether they don't even have a clue... perhaps they NEED to misrepresent Logic - oh wait, they obsessively believe in non-logical things 'beyond all human understanding', don't they, so their brains just can't work any other way ...
