I equate God with many ideas, one of those being Life.
Do you desire for me to present further how you use/experience Life everyday you've walked this planet?

You are just an atheist, period. Not theist at all.
Welcome to the club. I am afraid we don't have cookies at the moment.
Why should I take that to mean that "everyone is some sort of theist" instead of just realizing that you are abusing the word?
If I am an atheist, I'm the type that knows God exists. Is that strong atheism?
How am I abusing the word?
By giving yourself the right to impose a certain (and recklessly inflated at that) take on it on everyone else.
That is just dishonest.
That is just dishonest.

You are just in self-denial. You will eventually realize your fully fledged atheism.
How is it dishonest? Everyone is free to have whatever take they wish to have.
If full fledged atheism includes knowing God exists, then I am fully fledged atheist. Got any more ad homs?
Everyone is indeed free to lie. Do I need to go on?

You are only lying to yourself. You will eventually realize this. It might take some time though. Come back to me once it happens.
Not if you are unable to back up your assertions? They continue to be intellectually pathetic.
Said a fellow theist.
I'm willing to bet it will never happen and that you will realize you are full fledged theist.

The first step is denial. The second is fighting. It takes some time to advance through the steps. Don't worry, that's normal.

Strange that lots of people manage to use it to refer to the same thing then.
If someone said "an aggressively anti-theistic form of secular humanism" would you also argue that this has no referent?

I agree.
To add insult to injury, it is even worse when it happens with completely arbitrary uses of a word.
Let me know when you catch up!
Hilarious. How is it completely arbitrary?

There is also a 12-step programme. At your first meeting you have to stand up and say "I'm a theist".
