Can anyone think of another category besides implicit atheism that is superfluous?

Atheism is not a default position

Must I retype the thread?
Well, it does make sense. Atheists, after all, don't believe in god, so to them it is nothing more than a construct.
It's not often we need to create superfluous categories to justify our illogic.

but is it a default position?
I say we go back to God...whatever declaration we have made.....will be dealt with.
To have a construct? I suppose it is. We believe or disbelieve in things.
Okay. You do that.

Belief must be considered BEFORE the declaration.
otherwise the speaker is parroting what he has heard.
Before what declaration?

before declaring there is no god....
If atheism was truly a default position.....belief in God would likely be the odd man out.

But also before the declaration that there is a god.
It's a misunderstanding of what "default" means, which is another thread to speak of.
It only has to do with what we would have become had nothing interfered.
But what about the much beleaguered non-black?

That is identical with white, while non-white and black and passive and active respectively of the same thing that is not the same thibg, except when I say otherwise.
No, it's just non-black. Non-an absence of every other colour.
That white is every other colour combined is a coincidence. And darned skillful.
Or how about politics: You are either Republican or Arepublican, with Democrat being "Hard" Arepublican, and everything else being "Soft" Arepublican.
At least in American Politics.
Point made, because one can take a step back and not be political.Or how about politics: You are either Republican or Arepublican, with Democrat being "Hard" Arepublican, and everything else being "Soft" Arepublican.

Lol. I'm getting a bit too inebriated to follow. I'll respond with a true colorful response tomorrow. :b
As long as, even inebriated, you allow that negations don't make for elimination, your responses will always be acceptable.
