I will agree that people have issues with these definitions. But it really doesn't matter at all. The only point this guy came remotel close to making was a problem with a specific label. He can call me whatever the heck he wants. If he gets his jollies from beating on a classic strawman he built from the ground up with his own definitions, it's no bother to me. But when you won't even let the person you are talking to tell you what their position is, then you haven't won any argument or acheieved any victory besides being so thick headed and dogmatic that you won't even allow the conversation to begin.
Because I could just as easily find problems with the term agnostic, if that is what he wants to call me. The label does not matter. What, for instance, is a "christian"? Should I feel smug if I tell every christian what the word means and then attack the definition that is not even being defended? No, I'd be a total jackass. And I can't at all see what would be entertaining about such shallow semantic noise.
