What's the difference?

Aside from the obvious alleged absence of gods, what is the difference between atheism and theistic religions?

Atheists have no faith that any God exists.
Theists have faith that their God exists.

Define faith, God and exists.

@AkioTsukino Lol, if I must. Faith is belief without evidence. God is the specific deity or supreme being the individual(s) believe in. Exist means it has an objective reality or being.

@HarryHawk I wonder if we'll all get homework to hand in tomorrow.

@Richard65 yes, and if we don't hand it in we'll get detention!
@HarryHawk Simple copy and paste buddy. No existential threat...

Define:

1. state or describe exactly the nature, scope, or meaning of.
"the contract will seek to define the client's obligations"

Similar:

explain
expound
interpret
elucidate
explicate
describe
clarify
give the meaning of
state precisely
spell out
put into words
express in words

2.
mark out the boundary or limits of.
"the river defines the park's boundary"

I'm pretty confident I won't. You all aren't much of a challenge. I don't think there's one in the lot that knows their ass from a hole in the ground.
@HarryHawk Detention in this case being continuance of almost abject ignorance of your own fake ideology. Yeah. You already have that, though.

@AkioTsukino so that begs the question as to why you're here, if it's discussion and learning you're after. I'm pretty sure you're just agitating.

Just agitating? Sometimes agitation is beneficial. No one is here to learn so don't fool yourself. You want validation or agitation. No discussion. No instruction. No sharing. Unfortunate, but true. If I were wrong you wouldn't have made the sarcastic homework remark in the first place, now would you.

@AkioTsukino you told DocSavage you "couldn't resist the dummies coming out of the woodwork". Your profile says you're here for learning and then you say don't fool yourself, nobody is here to learn 🙄

Now I understand exactly the kind of person you are.
@Richard65 [quote]you told DocSavage you "couldn't resist the dummies coming out of the woodwork". Your profile says you're here for learning and then you say don't fool yourself, nobody is here to learn 🙄[/quote]

Agitator? I've edited my profile to exclude learning. I haven't learned anything here. Only confirmed what I already know.

[quote]Now I understand exactly the kind of person you are.[/quote]

No you don't. Just another smart ass like me. Nothing new under the sun.
Richard65 · M
@AkioTsukino Lol, I checked it five minutes ago and it was there. You've just changed it because I called out your smart-ass hypocrisy. What a loser.

No. Stupid. I changed it because my expectations changed since I last even bothered to look at the profile myself. No hypocrisy. Only adaptation. Self correction. You want to talk about hypocrisy, think about that for a while. Evolution.
Richard65 · M
@AkioTsukino awww, of course that's why you changed it. Practically 35 seconds after I pointed out your contradiction. You're fooling nobody. You're not as smart as you think you are.
@Richard65 Practically 35 seconds after you pointed out the contradiction that had transpired without my having realized it I changed the profile even explaining that "I've edited my profile to exclude learning. I haven't learned anything here. Only confirmed what I already know."

[quote]You're not as smart as you think you are.[/quote]

No. I'm not as stupid as you are, you just haven't figured that out yet.
Richard65 · M
@AkioTsukino you're trying to finesse the true reason, attempting to credit yourself for the decision to change your profile because we're apparently not smart enough to challenge your intellect. When you really changed it only after I pointed out your evident contradiction. Your desperate flailing is pitiful. Give it up, you just look foolish.

Alleged imaginary god is a product of ignorant atheists. I'm not one of those. I firmly believe in Jehovah God.[/quote]

You firmly believe in Jehovah God? You sure fooled me, as the list goes on for your nasty comments to people. I'm ashamed that you even call yourself a believer in God, with that mouth. You insult those who actually love and live with the Lord. You're very rude and unloving and you certainly don't represent any true believers on here.
@LadyGrace There are no true believers on here. They are all fake pagan worshippers too dumb to do a little research. I'm like the prophet of old mocking the prophets of Baal or Jesus chasing the money changers out of the temple.
@AkioTsukino you are a Prophet of old? or Jesus?
step back and learn a bit your self.

@AkioTsukino you're so far up your own arse you're blinded by your own faeces.

@AkioTsukino Did you interview all here, so you know that? There are plenty of true believers on here, and who are you to call people "fake pagan worshipers" and "too dumb to do a little research"? I noticed you call believers ignorant, as well. Sounds like you are down with a good case of Christianophobia, but nothing God can't cure. I hope you feel better soon.
