In this context, absolutely, that’s why I dropped it (until I realized I wasn’t clearly explaining myself and the other person was confused). I thought this was the same thread as a cousin (?) thread that was focused on pedantry, so I was being pedantic as hell.
Posting the definition you choose, or should I say believe, for the word is obnoxious and meaningless, puting it in bold is just sad. Especially the way that one is written.
You think your definition is enough to change what someone believes a word to mean? I believe you are mistaken
Yep got it, I don’t like it because people are literally confused and think Atheism is a belief system (as seen in the replies further down) and the wording doesn’t help that, but in terms of pedantry you win 😅
Like all belief systems ≠ like all other belief systems
“Pigs, like all felines, are chordates,” is a perfectly valid sentence that doesn’t imply that pigs are felines.
Pragmatically, it does

It’s pretty clear what he means
Wasn’t this the pedantry chain?
I mean calling atheism a belief system of any kind is like calling not collecting stamps a hobby, it doesn’t make sense
But they didn’t do that, just like I didn’t call a pig a feline.
It’s not important though, and this isn’t the pedantry thread, so I’ll drop it.
thanks, I’ll consult NOT AI, I USED YOUR FAVOURITE MORALLY CORRECT WAY to see the error in my ways because I’m now more confused 🥲
edit: ok I understand now, you win this round!
Thanks to @cryptiod137@lemmy.world for the downvote, ya weirdo
You took that personally I guess but I’m the weirdo?
Atheism is any sense is a belief system, the above poster fell deeply into a particular variety of it
I don’t know if your comment about AI was sarcasm but I assure you it’s not going to help
Atheism is not a belief system because it has no beliefs
> Atheism is a lack of belief in a god or gods, that’s it, nothing more, nothing less.
Replacing angels with bunsen burners and some sort of weird hyperactive form of rationalism is not atheism
Atheism is the belief in the lack of gods or God
That’s the only definition that has ever mattered

Oh, sorry. I can explain what I meant.
-doesn’t imply Earth is a star, it’s just comparing it to all stars. If I said “like all other stars,” I would be calling earth a fellow star.

You get downvoted because you need to consult AI
Ahhhh I forgot where I was for a second
No it wouldn’t? How can a web search cover a conversation I’m having with OP?
But anyway I’ve updated it now
I like your edit.
