I can't be bothered to go around and count the number of "none", "anti-theist", "are you kidding me?" responses, so I'd like to post this very simple poll.
It has two options. If you believe in some sort of God (doesn't matter if you are a Christian, a Deist, a Wiccan, etc) then answer "Yes". If you don't believe in God (and that includes people who don't think the question is relevant), answer "No".
I just want to keep things very simple; I don't want to cause a debate over terms; if you think you believe in God, answer in the positive. If you don't think you believe in God, answer in the negative. If you are unsure what you believe, don't answer at all.
You can discuss your votes below; in fact this is encouraged as it will keep the thread highlighted in search results and so more people will be able to vote. Hopefully we'll be able to get most of the active users within a few days.
Due to you only including a single God in your poll, do you think all the other Gods would get upset?
YUP. Unable to honestly reply to that survey. "God" is not defined. Which God? The Abrahamic YHWH? Which YHWH? The petty tribal god with his wife Asherah? The psychotic monster In the Torah? Or perhaps the YHWH who transmogrified into the one creator god and lord of the universe?
Adding an "s" to the word god might help. To that I am able to say "no".
I'm a sceptic. This means I question everything. The existence of gods is a biggie. I'm unable to accept that gods can be argued into or out of existence. I demand empirical evidence, one way or t'other and will accept nothing less. That's just my position, I'm unable to claim to speak for anyone else.
One thing I learned a long time ago is that atheists hate being told what they do or do not believe. I tend to get testy when some dropkick tries to argue about what positions 'real' atheists should take.
