Apparently, you are not aware that the prefix "a" means "not." If something is "atypical," it's not typical. If someone is "apolitical," he is not politically-inclined. If someone is "amoral," he is lacking in morals. And a "atheist" is someone who does not believe in God, i.e. he is not a theist.First of all "Atheist" = "A theist", and is the opposite of what they say they are. Of course, that's just a play of words.
First of all "Atheist" = "A theist", and is the opposite of what they say they are. Of course, that's just a play of words. But as Freud says "What's in a name". Can be coincidence or play of ....

So dragons exist?
And agnostic is really just A gnostic?
Your logic here doesn't hold up to any scrutiny.
First of all, welcome to the forums. We're glad to have you here!
Please apply that logic to the statement "Unicorns do not exist.", and tell me what you conclude. Have a great day!

Can anyone explain to me how to interpret the OP? Those "1 2 3" things particularly?
Nope. I can't figure that out on my own. I don't think I was ever meant to, either.So I am new. I feel this post is done now. Can
I see you have 40.000 posts in your name. I have full confidence in you, and I am sure that you can figure that one out on your own
[especially remembering your previous remark: I am not seeing the problem. It is fairly simple really.]
I am good at weighting odds on how to answer nonsensical questions.Nope. I can't figure that out on my own. I don't think I was ever meant to, either.
@LuisDantas: Good to hear, that it got solved; kind of miraculous, without being answered. Though strange and funny you asked a question, already knowing "I don't think I was ever meant to, either".
Okay, fair enough. If I misinterpreted your play on words, I apologize.Maybe apparently is not correct here.You forgot that I also mentioned "But this is just a play of words".
@lewisnotmiller: I see you have 12.000 posts already. I'm smart enough not to debate you.
I didn't bring up dragons. You did. So I can say with certainty "Dragons exist in your mind". That is all I can say about this. And that I accept that you believe in dragons (at least in your mind). Whether or not it is truth I don't know.
The other one. I explained already:"I wrote it's a play of words. Might be coincidental, or not". That's all that I said about this. Don't read more into it. Of course you are free to do so. We are on the debate forum, so understandable even, otherwise nothing to debate on
I admit my initial post was a bit clumsy, but later on it got clearer to me. I don't believe in universal truth on earth (with regard to concept God). That's why I don't use "God exist (not)", but rather use "I believe God exist (not)". Thereby respecting other peoples view/religions/believe systems. I think that sums it up. And seems clear to me. My view also includes that other people can believe "God exist (not)", then I see that as their personal view put in a kind of "universal Truth".
