You seem to think a lot of things about atheists that aren't true. Neither you or Hep have demonstrated that "we" have actually implied anything about you but I do understand you believe these things happened. What I just explained to Hep about atheists not having anything in common except for the thing they don't believe seems to go over your head. You're irrational hatred of atheists is getting really boring and now quite obnoxious especially when you rant in those threads that don't have anything to do with belief and religion. For some time you and I were getting along well I thought. I really don't know why you persist in this puerile behavior, even if you initially thought it was funny, you now have lost any ability to actually engage in discussion as no one here takes you seriously at all.

There has been no argument from my side. You seem to have thought you wrote something witty and misinterpreted the tone of my reply. You need to stop telling me to chill.

Alright I guess I'm not done with this. I never thought I wrote something witty. So don't imply that I'm that cocky. Are you mad when I say chill?

It's so simple.
Theist = someone that believes in the existence of god

Like sen.c says, atheist is the exact opposite (or more appropriately, the negation) so atheist= someone that does not believe in the existence of god. There are only two possible options available to a person, you are either a believer or a non-believer. The only reason people make this more difficult than that is because some people think they need to ascribe some sort of positive position to people they disagree with so that they can argue them down.

Neither term can tell someone WHY a person believes or doesn't believe. For that you need to begin to put in positive descriptors. Christian, Muslim, secularist, humanist, pantheist, deist, empiricist, Buddhist, nihlist, existentialist. These are all terms that help define what a person's beliefs are which helps highlight why neither atheist OR theist gives any information about WHY a person believes or doesn't.

To view atheism as a way of life, whether beneficial or harmful, is false and misleading. Just as failure to believe in magic elves does not entail a code of living or a set of principles, so the failure to believe in a god does not imply an specific philosophical system.
The label 'atheist' announces ones disagreement with theism. It does not announce one's agreement with, or approval of, other atheists.
