Self-Consistent Definitions

From the comments here:

Stefan Molyneux on what is a Christian...

"Someone who believes that a cosmic Jewish Zombie who was his own father can make you live forever, if you symbolically eat his flesh and telepathically tell him you accept him as your master, so he can remove an evil force from your soul that is present in humanity because a rib-woman was convinced by a talking snake to eat from a magical tree."

BenYachov replies

What is an Atheist?

A set of biochemical reactions with a deterministic outcome whose specific configurations cause it to be without a "belief" in a "Zombie Jew" that faults other biochemical reactions with a deterministic outcome whose specific configurations cause it to have a "belief" in the "Zombie Jew".

Sort of like the ocean faulting the wind for blowing instead of sloshing.

Meaningless.

Thanks for the mention -- but I just wanted to set the record straight and say that I pulled this definition from the Internet... :)
