Personally I prefer to use the word "story" rather than the word "claim". That Jesus popped out of Mary's virgin hoo-haa is a story. For me to say "crapola" is not a story, it is a refutation of a story. If you say that me saying "the story crap" is a claim, fine. I claim that the story is bull. J.
<<These arguments are pointless. >> What arguments? This is a discussion of rhetoric. For an atheist to say "I make no claim" is a poor position to take. Yes, some atheists make no claim, but others do. If you are arguing with a theist, you will come across as disingenuous to only defend the "weak atheism" position, when the stronger version is defensible and what they really imagine atheism to be about. **************Psssst...Have you heard the news?
