Is that ironic or what?

Actually, it's not surprising that "atheist" is spelled (yes, I corrected it) "a theist" since the prefix a is supposed to mean "without." Then you stick the suffix "theist" at the end. Whoopdy doo!

Maybe because theist is pronounced differently to atheist. The atheist makes the ei sound like "e" instead of "a" but I'm not totally confident that that is the reason. Perhaps it is true, as creatrix suggests, that atheists are for some reason better spellers. If it were it would certainly result in atheist being spelt incorrectly more often as atheists use the word theist most often while everyone uses the word atheist.

We may need to fund a mental, or do you have gainful employment?

No, but it is true.
Did you know that you can scramble the words in
atheist
and come up with
"sh*t ate"
So what?
It means nothing.

Maybe the fun dies for you, but it does not for them.

Live and let live.

Spread peace.
