Definitions by squarecircle
ignostic
One who professes ignorance on the knowledge of whether or not any gods exist, or even what the term means. It is a play on the words "ignorant" (to lack knowledge) and "gnostic," (knowledge pertaining to gods).
Ignosticism is sometimes compared to theological noncognitivism, and while one may be both an ignostic and a theological noncognitivist, they aren't mutually inclusive. It is also often compared to agnosticism, and nontheism in general. Most ignostics would be categorized as "weak" or "negative" atheists.

theological noncognitivism
The argument that religious terminology (words such as "god" and "supernatural") doesn't make any frickin' sense, and just clutters up language meaninglessly.
The atheistic philosopher who claims that "god" is nonsensical is a proponent of theological noncognitivism.

kersplode
It's partially the noise an explosion makes, mixed with the word "explode" itself. Plus it's a cool word, I use it all the time. Basically it just means "explode" but it's cooler. Because I said it is.

omnimax
The word used to refer to the scholarly or philosophical "god" espoused by many theists and theologians as being omnipotent (all-powerful), omniscient (all-knowing), omnibenevolent (all-loving or all-good), omnipresent (existing everywhere), and perfect. This definition of "god" is what many atheists and non-theists refer to as being self-contradictory, sometimes compared to the logical impossibility of a square-circle.
The God of the Bible is often claimed to be an omnimax god.
The Problem of Evil is an argument against an omnimax god.
