ROMANSH: What would you call someone who described himself as a weak atheist?-Dhw: I would call him the same as I called him on 28 April and on 1 May, when you asked the same question: "an agnostic tending towards atheism". Perhaps you didn't realize that before giving my answer, I explained the thinking that led to it. Clearly this is an approach you are not used to, since you continue to avoid my own requests for explanations.-ROMANSH: Surely, you are not suggesting they are atheistic with personal Abrahamic gods and the like; but, they are unsure or agnostic about the more deistic gods.-No, I'm not, and you know I'm not. According to your twisted use of terminology, someone can be atheistic, theistic and agnostic all at the same time and even in relation to one and the same god. You are making a mockery of language. This discussion is leading us nowhere, and we should end it.
