42. Reading your post, I realize that you will not try to define my atheism.

Even though the dictionary uses a twisted definition of the word, and I use the original "lack of belief in gods" version, some here will not allow us to define ourselves, and arrogantly try to do so while hypocritically disallowing atheists to define their beliefs for them (not that we really care to do so).

I may not believe what you believe, but I tip my hat to you and all who allow us our self-description. It takes security in oneself and the willingness to let people be their own selves to not attempt to impose your definition on us.

Kudos! :toast:
