I didn't claim victory either. I just said I wasn't going to toe the line to their feelings solely because they're frightened by a few words. They don't like "shit" in place of "worthless" because they ascribe magical meaning to a word.
If I wanted magic and words, I'd go play with the Kabbalah. Meanwhile, as I already said, I'll call a spade a spade.
The theist have divine(blind) faith on their side, we have rational reason supported by empirical evidence on ours. If we can't win the war, it won't be due that ours doesn't have the better argument but that we are no good at fighting the war. If Dawkins is having a hard time, it's basically due to his choice of words. Telling a christian that Jesus is gay or a fraud or his religion is a piece of shit, whatever you want, won't win you any points.
