"What did you call me?" (Reacting to being called "obtuse") "Get him out of here!!!"Are you intentionally obtuse or are you really just a moron? Do you not see the Oxford definition? It agrees with me, but not with the others.
Hmm, how can we resolve this discrepancy? Let's try the scientific way:
Grammatical rules we learned as children, word formation.
Root word: Theist
definition: belief in a god or gods
prefix: a
meaning: without
Therefore atheist = without belief in a god or gods
Now let's try your method, the religious method.
I want something to be true.
Evidence points to me being wrong.
Ignore that evidence.
Find something to back me up.
If all else fails, just repeat it as often as possible until everyone else gives up trying to converse with me.
Yaaaaay. You've pointed out exactly why I don't want a person who uses faith to be in charge of anything, because that indoctrinated method of ignoring logic prevents you from seeing reality, even if it doesn't relate to the thing you're using your faith for (ie: god).
