what dictionary are u using resurrectionist?

Answer 1

Yes, that is the definition and No I am not an athiest.

#2

Answer 2

A dictionary does not define a word or gives the meaning; its tells how the word is used in daily life. Never knew that, eh? People have got the wrong idea of the use of a dictionary. It is not an absolute standard. Like the word gay originally meant happy, now it means homosexual!

Answer 3

No. First of all, Resurrectionist has already explained that that definition no longer applies. If you had read it closely enough you would already have known that. Secondly, do you really believe that all atheists are wicked? Warren Buffet, an atheist, is giving 31 BILLION dollars to charity! What a wicked guy he must be!

You worship a god that murders innocent children yet you call me wicked?

Answer 4

my first reaction replaced into thinking of moses whilst he went up on the mountain to recieve the ten commandments,they being delivered from slavery right into a paradise they did no longer settle for wandered for 40 yrs all because of the fact they did no longer have sufficient faith outfitted a golden calf to worship,we don't choose our fellow guy the bible states choose no longer lest ye be judged by utilising the degree ye mete we are in no place to choose everyone we are all Gods babies and would say no count number if this one is physically powerful or that one,Jesus paid the guy a similar quantity of wages for artwork achieved at dark than the different that had worked 12 hrs,

Answer 5

A dictionary gives common definitions of a word...since a lot of theists view atheists as being wicked, then that definition is in the dictionary. Definition 2 is the definition of atheist intellectuals and atheists use.

The definition of wicked is "evil by nature'....no, I'm not wicked...I just believe in one less god than you do.

Answer 6

Nikki,
Yes. It's a faith-based decision that they are saying 'no' to God. They decide 'to set against' ( saw nay ; basic Hebrew verb meaning to hate) God.

They have to make up that God is not there. It's lazy, presumptuous, and unscientific. All the things that Atheists complain about Christians. All because they want to believe themselves independent from God, scientific about things that are even unproven ( think of that!) , and born experts on religion.

All hypocritical and in denial, because they claim proof against something that they don't know about. In denial because they deny that it's by faith that they believe what they have chosen to believe in.

Answer 7

Are you archaic?

ar·cha·ic

No longer current or applicable; antiquated: archaic laws. See Synonyms at old.

Answer 8

get a second more modern source

a·the·ism (th-zm)
n.
1.
a. Disbelief in the existence of God or gods.
b. The doctrine that there is no God or gods.
2. Godlessness.

Answer 9

An atheist says, "I don't believe in God and anyone who does is stupid".

A Christian says, "I believe in God and anyone who doesn't is evil".

Luckily, not all atheists or Christians are quite shallow enough to believe those statements.

Answer 10

Well, that's archaic, so I'd say no. 100 years ago I would have been ;-)
