That's ONE definition of atheist. I have a really BIG dictionary and it contains
many words which have more than one dictionary. If your dictionary only contains
one definition for words, I recommend you get another one, or if that's too
complicated for you, I recommend that you stay away from Usenet discussions.
They're way out of your league.

Already got plenty of them. Get yourself a grasp of English, if you can. A
dictionary can't provide it. If you can't understand the English language even
after consulting the dictionary, maybe going to the www.atheist.org website
would help you, but I doubt that. If the attitude you've displayed here is any
indication, nothing would help.
