Why haven't you included the option of antitheist as you use the descriptor so readily?

Too much overlap between categories. You don't have to be an atheist or an agnostic, or a scientific pantheist or a materialist - they're perfectly compatible with each other.

On forum now.

All I get is 1 vote for monotheist. None for any other category. Antitheist category isn't there. ???

I have tried to add it twice but it doesn't seem to be showing. Sorry to hear your vote isn't going where you want it. Not being a moderator I have no control over this.

On forum now.

Hang on, it's changed.
All I get now is 2 votes for monotheist. None for any other category. Antitheist category still isn't there. ???

I have no intention of voting as it just seems to be an example of piss taking. Also, no other votes seem to show up at all, so what would be the point?

Would you like me to add 'antitheist' for you?

 How about 'Turd Polisher' as well? Mind you, that would probably conflict with certain other categories :)

Two who voted 'other' have been wiped out. They appear to have been relocated to the 'antitheist' category. This is assuming too much.

OK - I've done that, but I think we'll leave it there since I'll be out and about later.

Just a helpful note for your count - if you are looking at Users Online it is the case some members have their online status hidden: there are more online than you can see right now.

Looks like a glitch. The others were in the line that used to have otheras the title, with  the extra choices going in the votes have stayed on that line  but the titles have moved down.

No you'll have to make do with antitheist and just roll your eyes around a bit.

Presumably Trollboy will be providing a glossary some time soon so we can figure out whether he means the standard meanings of these terms or the idiosyncratic reinventions of them he needs to construct his endless straw men rebuttals?
