We can use "philosophical position" or "position" or "condition", if you prefer.

@scott_hurst http://dictionary.reference.com/browse/atheist I don't see "lack" listed. Just saying. @InbornAtheism @Stooshie @dead2god1 @MindForgedOne

@DeanoMartino1 So a "deficiency" implies that theism is preferable? normal? whole? Hmmmm.@InbornAtheism@Stooshie @dead2god1@MindForgedOne -
@emlynaddison
@InbornAtheism@Stooshie @dead2god1 I read most of that thread. Atheism is simply lack of belief in god/s, nothing more. -
@DeanoMartino1 Well, there's that "lack" word again :P I think a real wordsmith could do a lot better.@InbornAtheism@Stooshie @dead2god1 -
@emlynaddison
@InbornAtheism@Stooshie @dead2god1 How about: Theist: Believes in god/s. Atheist: Doesn't -
@DeanoMartino1 We're back to "disbelieves"/"non-belief"? We're at the imposition of condition again! :D@InbornAtheism@Stooshie @dead2god1 -
@emlynaddison
@InbornAtheism@Stooshie @dead2god1 What condition? This sounds so pedantic when it can be so simple! -
@DeanoMartino1 That someone's--ANYONE'S--belief imposes the condition of "non-belief" on another.@InbornAtheism@Stooshie @dead2god1 - 5 more replies

@emlynaddison theist = with a belief in a personal interacting god. atheist= without
@InbornAtheism@Stooshie @dead2god1@MindForgedOne -
@scott_hurst So am I made "without belief" of UFOs because a few claim they exist?@InbornAtheism@Stooshie @dead2god1@MindForgedOne -
@emlynaddison Yes. Perfect analogy. Only no one bothered to put a name to condition.
@InbornAtheism@Stooshie @dead2god1@MindForgedOne -
@scott_hurst You lack belief in my Purple Bubble Fairy. Does that sound right to you?@InbornAtheism@Stooshie @dead2god1@MindForgedOne -
@emlynaddison Yes
@InbornAtheism@Stooshie @dead2god1@MindForgedOne -
@scott_hurst Crackpot god myths shouldn't impose the condition of "non-belief" on others.@InbornAtheism@Stooshie @dead2god1@MindForgedOne -
@emlynaddison "impose the condition" It imposes nothing.
