Delicate Offers a Truce

[robvalue]

This is the problem with even calling myself an atheist. It's a pre-emptive reaction to a claim. Regarding Delicate, I don't even have a claim to react to. So I'm not even technically an atheist until I hear what the claim is. Being told I'm wrong about a question I haven't heard is problematic.

I don't want to shed the label though as it has become so important, and most people barely understand what that word means; even before getting into specifics.

Some theists like to pretend the question is obvious and well-defined. If I've learnt anything over the last few years, it's that this couldn't be further from the truth.
