Im not trying to be radical or abrasive, and i feel like my comments are being received as such. Apologies if they came out like that.
It's not a matter of being abrasive, it's just that a lot of people think you're wrong. Not every atheist is a strong atheist.
And the difference is not semantic.
A "weak" atheist regards the proposition that a god exists the same way that he regards the proposition that unicorns exist. There is no evidence for it, but it has not been falsified.
A "strong" atheist regards the proposition that a god exists the same way that he regards the proposition that there are unicorns
everywhere, and that you can't go anywhere without tripping over one. There is no evidence for it, and it
has been falsified.
There is a difference.
