Re: [lojban-beginners] Re: {nal-} vs {nar-}

   Correct, nu'o would be a bad idea for that reason.  It does mean that you have never yet believed, whereas atheists might have been theists sometime in their past.   It also eliminate those hypothetical atheists who are not innately capable of being theists (remember, nu'o means "can, but hasn't").

  I also think that stylistically, "na" is a bad thing to use in all lujvo, since it has bridi-wide implications.

 

  Also, not real fond of "nalceikri" for atheist.  A "nalceikri" would logically be a non-theist, and include agnostics.  An atheist would be a "tolceikri"

I want to say something like {nu'orselcei} or {nu'orceikri}, but I
believe those imply that you have never believed, not just that you
don't now.
