Your entire argument is weak, I didn't single out one weak part of an overall argument. (That is the definition of "straw man", if you didn't know.)

It is a waste of time to try to prove that a fictional book is fiction. Period.

WRONG.

Your response was condescending, therefor this may have a similar tone.

A Straw Man is the fallacy of attacking a position that is not the opponents position, while you claim it is his position. Your argument does not address my position. Perhaps I shall attempt to make my position more obvious in the future.

A straw Man is NOT a weak point in an argument as you claim. You are wrong, period.

Your claim in post 9 is flawed because of obviously false premises, a fact you seem unable to grasp.

Since you claim my argument is weak, I would like to point out that your response in post 14 is fallacious and self defeating. Go for it, defend your position on where one ought to spend resources. I dare you. Be warned, the "fiction" cliche will not suffice to justify your incoherent apologetic.
