What is Atheism?

[RoadRunner79]

I agree... I see equivocation with the term from a number of people as well.  Those who want to make claims, but then when pressed, try to bring up the one definition and claim skepticism.   The claim is not retracted, the position is not altered,  but they act like the definition which doesn't apply to what they are saying absolves them of justification.  And it is not like the definition is exclusive to an agnostic position.  I also find that along with shouting their claim over and over, these people often think insulting or attacking the person or source is a valid argument as well.  All you can do is point out the issues and move on.

I'd be very interested in seeing the most egregious example you have of this claim.

See the Carl Sagin Thread!   (edit:   correction Neil Degrasse Tyson thread)

(note: perhaps not the most eregious, but a recent one)   I don't keep a list to bring up later and shove in peoples faces.   Just know that I run into it quite often.
