Hang on, there' s a huge gap between "vapid" and "doesn't spark the particular discussion I'm interested in having". I think the things you raise would indeed be interesting to discuss, but AllanCrossman's comment is a specific and sufficient answer to the specific question that roland asks - "what justifies the decision to put more work into attacking theism than ghostism".
It's sufficient because no-one disputes the factual accuracy of the answer.
Hmm... when I looked up vapid in my dictionary I got this:
Looking at other dictionaries it seems like it can also mean lacking life or tedious. I was going for more the former use than the latter use.
So I agree with you. Replace "vapid" with "boring" and you'll have more of what I was aiming for. "Boring" was too weak so I amped it up with "vapid," but apparently that was too strong. But whatever. It's not important.
Allan, no insult was meant. Your comment is fine.
I definitely would like to discourage you from castigating commentators for failing to entertain you. It's enough that their comments advance the argument, surely?
Fair enough.
