From when I've heard Stenger speak on the Non-Prophets and the Atheist Experience, (I have yet to read the book because I want to finish Hitchens first) he argues against the most common model of god. The problem with arguing against god is you get people who say "But that's not my god" and it becomes a useless futile act. Stenger explained that he attacks the god that studies have shown the average person would believe in, (I.E. Answers prayers, created world, Promises heaven, threatens hell)

So chances are maybe YOUR specific view might be a little different, but in that case have you just definied God to some being that is free from considerations of the majorly accepted god model? If that's so, it's just your opinion, unprovable, untestable, and utterly worthless.
