Of course, strictly speaking, atheists do not exist; Literally, "Atheism" measn "Without a belief systems" and since they *do* believe without solid proof that thier is no diety, they *are* believing in something. I prefer Andiest or Nondiest myself, but as has been discussed, I can be a condescending ass when it comes to being precise.

Wow! Word salad with bad spelling and grammar, must be a fundie!
If your brain is not too Stuckey in religion, maybe you can grasp the following: "I have no belief in gods!"
"... I can be a condescending ass..."
Remarkable honesty, Stuckey! Yes, you are definitely a condescending ass, but you don\'t seem very "precise" at all because you clearly have no idea what you\'re talking about.
No, we atheists believe in plenty of things. For instance, I believe in love, charity, good ethics, education, etc., we simply don't believe in gods. I am sure I exist.
Atheism is the belief that there are no higher powers. Sometimes it's also defined as the absence of belief in higher powers, but that does not mean that it is the absence of belief, period. Get yourself a dictionary, idiot.
"Literally, "Atheism" measn "Without a belief systems" "
Then fundie must literally mean 'without a functioning brain'.
Come on people, give this guy a break.
He's just falling victim to the fundie word redefinition project!
Another failure to understand what atheism means.
atheism means the belief that there is no god or gods. That is all.
I have a belief system, it just doesn't include gods, or anything else supernatural for that matter.
It does include not being a condescending ass, and not telling other people what they do and do not believe in.
@Princess Rot my nickname is Andy, does that mean I'm God? Cool!
Sigh. One should not even be allowed to discuss atheism unless one can distinguish between these statements.
1. I don't think gods exist.
2. I Believe Gods don't exist.
And if one can not distinguish the difference between there, their, and they're, one should be banned from the internets. Especially if one can't even spell "their" when it's used improperly.
...Andiest...
If you see Andie before I do, tell him Beeblebrox said he should go f*** himself.
...I can be a condescending ass when it comes to being precise.
I've been worked over by professionals. I don't rate you very highly at all. Anyone with this bad a grasp on the definition of atheism and such a dismal command of the English language isn't going to get past first base with me.
Telling other people what their beliefs are?
Check.
Getting it wrong?
Check.
Using that incorrect definition to deny the validity of those other people's beliefs?
Check.
Making up words?
Check.
Liberal sprinkling of irony?
Check.
Well that's five right there, but he didn't accuse us of being homosexual, immoral, Muslims or Satanists, so I can only give it a 4.
The contention that bald is a hair color, and that atheism is a religion while christianity is not, is a fundy belief. But not a word about the rapture, gheys, KJV, curtains that don't match the couch, or zygotes, so let's call this a 4.5.
"A-" is a prefix that means "non", "without" or "absent"; can occasionally mean "abnormal" (probably only in medical terms, but IDK for certain). "theist" means "believer in a god/gods/goddess".
Let's see our choices..."non-believer in a god", "without believer (or belief) in a god", "absent (absence of) belief in a god".
Now, your position could be true ONLY if you're willing to define "god" as a "belief system"; belief systems are typically called "religions", not gods.
In summary, fuck yourself with a dictionary.
The "I Know Not What Irony Is" award goes to.....
Turn about is fair play. You believe in a supreme deity without solid proof. And no, your bible isn't proof.
So concerned with pushing your horseshit on the rest of us, yet your spelling and grammar are atrocious. This gives you zero credibility with those of us who take pride in our ability to communicate.
Condescending attitude aside, perhaps you should should just die in a fucking fire, moron.
""Atheism" measn "Without a belief systems""
Well, there's your problem. You've got a leak in this statement right here.
Damn, you'd think someone who acknowledges themself a condescending ass would take a moment to check their facts BEFORE pontificating.
As one of those people you think doesn't exist, I'd like you to check a dictionary. And a rational belief that the supernatural does not exist, is NOT the same thing as a supernatural belief.
So, if I prefer the first name on your birth certificate rather than "D F", it's permissible for me to use that, right? What if I don't believe in the use of initials? Or maybe, if your name is, say, "Dennis," I should call you something friendlier, like "Denny."
Or we could, you know, try mutual respect.
Of course, strictly speaking, anti-garbluuukists do not exist; Literally, "Anti-garbluuuukism measn "Without a belief systems" ans since they *do* believe without solid evidence that thier is no garbluuuk, they *are* believing in something. I prefer And-garbluuks or Non-garbluuks myself, but as has been discussed, I can be a condescending ass when it comes to being precise.
Confused?
So were we! You can find all of this, and more, on Fundies Say the Darndest Things!
