Intellectual dishonesty by SELECTIVE word manipulation.
Hi,
Could you please help with the posted views of Mdwh, Wiploc and 68.103.210.128?
Is there a way to lock the nontheism site? They are not discussing the issues first. They're simply stating that "non" + "theism" = atheism (rather than nontheism). I explained in the history notes that according to the dictionary "non" can mean "of little or no consequence" like nonissue, which doesn’t mean a lack of an issue ("non" + "issue" not equal to zero/no issue, just unimportant or irrelevant issue like nontheism).
But they don’t discuss first. They just “group post” the same point of view over and over again by joining two words from the dictionary to come up with their own personal meaning. In fact, that SELECTIVE MEANING from the MULTIPLE MEANINGS of “non” in the dictionary is their only citation or source, combining two words from the dictionary for their own personal point of view.
I do not have any more time to spend on this for the next few months, and I believe that Answer.com, which uses definitions from Wikipedia, will update its definition soon (I inquired and they said a manual update would happen soon). This means that a misleading definition reflecting only three points of view from Wikipedia may stay on Answer.com for a long time!
Thanks, Suran3.
