So so many people can't get their head around "I don't believe claim A" is not the same as "I believe claim B" where A and B are the only options.

Whereas we find the idea of "supernatural" to be a meaningless concept, do you think "natural" is too ambiguous? Could this be where their arbitrary distinctions are born from?
