So as to avoid confusion and to promote a general atmosphere of clarity, I shall now present a strawman for my fellow theists to turn to when we are in danger of losing a debate.
The 'weak theist' is merely a position of disbelief of the disbelief of 'weak atheists'. Should the atheists then come up with a 'really weak atheist', theists will find it necessary to create a 'sickly theist' class. Should the atheists respond with an 'almost theist' class, theists will be forced to pull out the 'atheist in disguise' class that will surely trump the atheists and force the "buren of proof" entirely on their shoulders.
I hope this has been as instructional and helpful for you all as it hasn't been for me.
