aah theism

I just watched a BionicDance video titled Billy Craig's Double-Standard

http://youtu.be/0BTy9ET1wAY

I give up. Theist incessantly use the [atheism] = [claim that God does not exist] strawman. No matter how many times you explain that [rejection of claim that God exists] =/= [claim that God does not exist] it's in one ear and out the other. William Lane Craig may have come up with the solution. It turns out that I'm actually an AAH THEIST! Although some days I lean aahgnostic. Other days I lean hahatheist.

The entire debate: http://youtu.be/4KBx4vvlbZ8
In particular see Hitchens starting at 41:15 clearly state his position on the meaning of atheism.

Youtuber Drgamedood posted a video response titled Re: "aah theism". I'm glad to allow responses, but his video has responses disabled. Plus, he does not allow me to PM him. I think it's hypocritical to take advantage of my open-response policy to post a video that is itself closed to responses. Accordingly I have deleted that response.

I am mistaken. I was mixing up 'gnostos' (known) with 'gnosis' (knowledge). 'Gnosis' is the root of 'gnosticism' though.

Ever wonder why believers people who believe in fairytales NEED everyone else to believe in just about anything? It's as if they think if everybody believes in something, that somehow validates the belief of the christians (and other religious wackjobs).

(continued)

positive atheism = I BELIEVE THERE IS/ARE NO GOD(S)

negative atheism = I DO NOT BELIEVE IN GOD(S)

↑↑↑What the hell does a-theism vs. a-theos have to do with ANY of this?

(continued-"common-sense") assumptions. Because of their specious 'obviousness', many are widely held.". So yes, a-theism is a false etymology. And no that doesn't invalidate negative atheism. As I said, there are the two definitions. Hitchens mixes the two up, I even gave the times where he does so in this stupidly edited clip.
