    No, an honest theist must say “I don’t really know what ‘atheism’ means.”

    • Dr. Michael Bisconti Dr. Michael Bisconti says:

      The meaning of language is determined by the most common usage. The most used dictionary provides us with the most common usage. See http://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/atheism. Here are the definitions provided:
      1 archaic: ungodliness, wickedness
      2 a: a disbelief in the existence of deity
      b: the doctrine that there is no deity
      Now, we are obviously talking about 2a or 2b. They both have one element in common – the negation of the idea of the existence of God; in other words, the belief that there is no God. To seal this point, the smart lexicographers at Merriam-Webster have provided us with this additional content from http://www.wordcentral.com/cgi-bin/student?book=Student&va=atheism: “the belief that there is no God.”

      In the final analysis, if anyone disagrees with the above definition of “atheism,” they need to coin a new word for what they believe.

        So what’s insane about disbelieving in the existence of a deity? Are you crazy for not believing in Zeus (assuming you don’t)?

        • Dr. Michael Bisconti Dr. Michael Bisconti says:

          Ahhh, very clever but the argument is not over the existence of a PARTICULAR god but over the existence of ANY god. The argument over the existence of a particular god is a different debate and one that we will gladly take up once again at the appropriate time. We, of course, believe in the existence of the God of the Bible.

    A sane person must be crazy? Oxymoron.
