We need to look from an unbiased prospective here, I think.
A word which suits both sides

@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 -
@emlynaddison
@InbornAtheism@Stooshie @dead2god1 So if I truly believe in Santa, it imposes non belief? Only in peeps who've heard of him -
@DeanoMartino1 Precisely. And by calling me a "non-believer" you're giving tacit credence to Santa.@InbornAtheism@Stooshie @dead2god1 - 3 more replies
