Modal Argument: The Mind is Not the Brain

[bennyboy]

For the millionth time... atheists don't make claims.... ok, some may make a few, but not in general.

Bullshit! You claim that God does not exist. Only the agnostic does not make a claim, one way or the other. For example, you never hear an atheist say, "I never said God didn't exist."

The ones here are constantly saying exactly that.

I have to say, I don't the weak definition of "atheist," since my beagle and my bunion both lack a belief about the existence of God/gods. I prefer a ternary choice: yes/no/I don't know. Since I also lack the belief that God/gods DON'T exist, I believe "agnostic" is a more sensible choice for me, and don't like the word atheist.

But I don't have control over the dictionary, and the "weak" position is one of the valid definitions: a + theist = not a theist.
