Are you atheist?
None of this happened, though. Nobody redefined atheism. Nobody called you (or anyone) “an atheist” The phrase was “atheist about over 99% of the gods humans have invented” You’re focusing on one word and ignoring the rest of the statement.

How hard would you have to punch a chicken to cook it thoroughly?
Unfortunately that analysis doesn’t appear to account for thawing the chicken, or any thermal losses while you are slapping it. Also “For chickens this so called specific heat is 3.35 kJ per kg of chicken per degree Celsius.” according to https://www.poultryworld.net/poultry/overheated-chick-calculations/

Are you atheist?
Do you believe in these other gods? If not, how is the expression inaccurate?
-
Are you atheist?
Seriously? Which has nothing to do with iNow’s claim. This thread is about being atheist. Not whether God exists.

Are you atheist?
If everyone on earth disbelieved in God, then they would all be atheistic. It would be their collective belief that God was invented. The existence is beside the point. It’s irrelevant.

Are you atheist?
I’m not interested in the evidence you didn’t provide to things you didn’t claim. I’m interested in you providing evidence of things you did claim: namely that my reasoning is flawed, or that my claim that thousands of deities exist is incorrect.

Are you atheist?
It’s about belief. If you don’t believe in a god, can that god be real, as far as you’re concerned?
-
Are you atheist?
No, that’s not a fair summary of my posts, and there’s no faith involved here. I provided evidence of thousands of deities. I provided reasoning that supports iNow’s claim. I notice that you are not providing any evidence to counter what I have provided, or showing any flaw in the reasoning. You’re moving the goalposts. This is about whether people believe these gods exist. We’re not discussing evidence for the existence of any god, we’re discussing evidence of belief. How is this relevant?

Are you atheist?
Fine. It’s not based on direct evidence. It’s an extrapolation. But that doesn’t mean it’s not true. I’ve supplied the reasoning, and the minimum number of deities is easily confirmed (the Egyptian, Norse, Aztec, Hindu, etc.) We also know that Christianity, and probably other popular monotheistic religions, deny that any other gods exist. No, it’s really nothing like that.

Are you atheist?
That wasn’t the claim. It was that they were atheistic regarding 99% of the gods. The general claim can be deduced (like a Fermi problem) Do you (and people in general) believe in deities outside of your own religion? If no, then you are atheistic regarding these deities. How many deities are there? How many thousands? (Egypt alone had >1400). Even if your religion has multiple deities, the percentage is likely close to or exceeds 99%. Now, if you are convinced that a deity isn’t real, because of your belief, then said deity must have been invented.

McCarthy said it will be "hard" not to hit Pelosi with gavel
And they get to hide behind the “rhetoric” excuse…except that there is no denouncement of the violence. You get the opposite, like Kari Lake making a joke, and people laughing about the attack. You get conspiracy nonsense offered up.

There are Physical Concepts that is Left Up To Magic
What derivation? A bald assertion is not a derivation, and your assertion was rebutted. Pick a point. I can e.g. assign a value for the electric field, the magnetic field and gravitational field to that point. That's three. Three is not one.

Stochastic terrorism. You send the message that violence is acceptable, and then wait for one of the millions of followers to decide they are going to follow through on it. Then the GOP applauds it or is silent on the matter.

Repeating this doesn’t make it true.

OK, that makes no sense. For entangled spins, it’s because angular momentum is conserved. Energy is going to be conserved, too. But nothing has be “constantly maintained” in order for that to happen.

Femto camera measures for Aether wind and finds it!
It’s a simulation, and it’s light entering a medium where the speed of light will be c/n and not invariant. Even if it wasn’t a simulation, how would you know what direction the “experiment” was moving?

So that’s a “no”

crowded quantum information
It’s incumbent on a poster to make such connections and explain the relevance of it. In this case, some work that cites a work tying K-K theory to entanglement. Just seeing mention of a fifth dimension and knowing there’s a hypothesis with five dimensions is speculation without it. For you to think this is not speculation, surely you have a citation in mind. Please share it.

Can you hand me a gravity field?

There are Physical Concepts that is Left Up To Magic
You’re being obtuse. A rock does not need to read our mind to fall under the influence of gravity. That would indeed be absurd. It falls, and we want to know about its motion. So we come up with equations which allow us to do that. Gravity exists all around us, we can assign a magnitude and direction to any point we choose, and it has these values independent of anyone’s thought.

Correlation is not an interaction, and the correlation is present at the beginning. This applies to you, too.
