I am sick and tired of Dems misspelling "atheist."

[BurtWorm]

Actually I am sick and tired of anybody, regardless of political affiliation or religious creed or noncreed, spelling atheist "athiest."

Remember: a-the-ist, like the-ist with a- in front of it.

Thank you for your consideration.

1. Yep, and remember that the "the" is the root of the word, "theology".

Hence, a-the-ist.

[cprise]

4. OMG

...he's a theist??? :D


Well, I'm sick and tired of Dems staring at me blankly when I tell them I'm a humanist.

[boxster]

11. Hehe. Nope!

"A" is, of course, a prefix meaning "not".

2. how about heathen

or godless soul bound for the seething fires of eternal hell fire? :nuke:

[bukk]

3. That sounds bad!

[Mobius]

6. you do realize that was sarcasm...

I hope...

[bukk]

12. Of course!

I should have stuck a smiley in there or something. I was laughing about the seething fires... ;)

9. I love heathen (in the south it's pronouced "Heathern")

It's root comes from the same root as heather, which is related to overgrown land, and it just signifies country folk, probably people that whomever ruled the urban areas had not been able to convert yet.

I think it is a pretty word with unearned negative undertones, like barbarian, which originally meant foreigner.

5. Are you an atheeist?

[Mobius]

7. No, Im a godless soul bound for the seething heat of eternal hell fire

13. I'm tired of people misspelling 'would've'

It's would've, not would of. Same with could've.

[WilmywoodNCparalegal]

15. or...

Mr. NYCParalegal, who's from the south, says things like "I might could have done it"... it drives me insane... and what's with its/it's? I even see it in reputable media...

[redqueen]

18. Yeah regional stuff like that irks me

It's a sign of the apocalypse, I tell ya!

Yesterday on NPR, some reporter... their *reporter*, said 'passerbys'!

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH!


Welcome to DU!

14. Where do agnostics go?

Ok. so all the atheists are bound for the eternal flames of hell...

[callous taoboy]
