    you can suspend judgement. that’s the reasonable thing to do. it’s literally the middle ground between accepting and rejecting a claim.

      I really don’t know how many other ways I can put it. Theism is defined as accepting the claim that there is at least one deity. You either do that or you don’t. You’re either theist or you’re not. If you’re some third option, that means you’re not theist. if you’re not theist, you’re without theism. The word for when you’re without theism is atheist.

          There’s no third options here. You can’t simultaneously accept the claim that there’s at least one deity and not accept the claim that there’s at least one deity. If you’re doing the former, that rules out the latter. If you’re doing the latter, that rules out the former. This shit is Boolean bro
