Barrierd: "Um, does "thy" and "thou" really have anything to do with "theos"?
I mean, seeing as one is Greek and one is Old-English..." Very true, very true, and ja, the word "thou" is totally unrelated to "theos." If NintendoLover had asked about an "atheist," then I woulda given him the definition. It of course comes from "theos," which is, as you said, Greek. However, he asked about the word "athiest." This word, while superficially similar to "atheist," is actually completely different and formed independently, much like the words "folio" and "follicle." I mean, one holds papers and the other holds hair, right? Wrong, actually. A portfolio is a sheaf of papers, whereas a follicle is a small bag/cavity. Furthermore, are the words "unite" and "untie" the same? Definitely not, despite the fact that by switching the i and t, one becomes the other.
Therefore, I rule.

Well, you asked whether god hates gay people, and also what is an athiest.
I was trying to explain that for god to hate gay people, there would have to be a god in the first place. Asking the question in that way is begging the question, because it assumes a premise that is not agreed upon.
Secondly, you asked what athiest is. Allow me to do a quick grammar lesson, here. You know what an adjective is, correct? There are multiple flavors of most adjectives, labeled the positive, the comparative, and the superlative (some, like "unique" have no comparative forms, and it is incorrect to attempt to force it to play a comparative role by saying "more unique"). Positive: "The apple is green." The statement has an adjective, green, which is positive: it is simply a statement of fact. It doesn't rely on anything but observation (and perhaps the listener(s) experience with colors) to determine the correctness of the statement. Comparative: "This apple is greener than that apple." This statement has a comparative adjective: it compares the greenness of two apples, concluding that one is more green than the other. Since it's a comparison, there need to be at least two things: this apple and that less green apple. Superlative: "This is the greenest apple of them all." Somewhat similar to the comparative, the superlative is essentially comparing all other apples to the one specified, and concluding that none is as green. Also, there's a very simple syntax for most adjectives to allow them to compare or... superle? Anyway, just suffix an adjective with "-er" and it's comparative, or suffix it with "-est" and it's superlative.
So that's how to modify adjectives. Let us try it with the older form of the possessive adjective "your" (a term that instead of pointing out an attribute of the modified word, points out the owner), or "thy." Remember that, in English, trailing Y's have a tendency to transform into I's when the word is modified with a suffix (like "lazy, lazier, laziest"). Positive: thy. Comparative: thier (remember Y's to I's!). Superlative: thiest.
So now we have the superlative form of the word "thy". But we still need to negate it: prefix "thiest" with the prefix a- (if "thy" began with a vowel, we would use an-), which means Without, or Not, and we find "thiest" to turn into "athiest".
Did that help? (:p)
barrierd: "also what was this thread about I forget" I think it was about something like... pineapples, maybe? Or it might have been kiwis. I don't really remember either.

Since the homosexual scientists have already mastered administering sperm to an egg without need for intercourse, heterosexuals are no longer needed to sustain life.
The homosexual agenda is nearing completion. You have been warned.

The peanut is neither a pea nor a nut. It is a state of matter. Matter can exist as a solid, a liquid, a gas, a plasma, or a peanut.
Boron is the only element that is in a peanut state under normal conditions. [ 04-21-2003, 04:49 PM: Message edited by: Anthrax ]
