   because it's a different claim, idiot! the claim that there is no   
   evidence for God is different to saying that religious claims are   
   unsubstantiated.

   I shall simply refer you to what I said to mur on 5/1/15 ..   
      
   "I don't bother with 'free'. he is such a liar. how many times have we   
   described here what evidence there is for God? more than a dozen times I   
   would think. and he just says it's not evidence, and then a bit later on   
   will claim that we have never presented any evidence. I refuse to give   
   him the satisfaction of doing it all over again."
