Like I said in the other thread: "God exists" is not a falsifiable hypothesis. Therefore complete certainty can never be obtained.

If I can't be an 8 I'll settle for 7.
Being told you're delusional does not necessarily mean you're mental.

The idea that "we can't know for sure" is giving in to one of religions' many logical exemptions. Would you really say the same about other things besides God? I was going to say 6 but after reading this, 7 can only make sense. Disclaimer: I am only responsible for what I say, not what you choose to understand.
I’m ignostic, ?/7. The question is meaningless to me without a lot of clarification from the person asking me.

Being ignostic is one of the reasons why I consider myself a 7. Because if you could define what a god was then you'd find that it violated what we do know to be universally true (the laws of Thermodynamics, the speed of light etc). It is not possible to say that something exists if it is impossible to define. This for me is the same as saying that it does not exist.

The idea that "we can't know for sure" is giving in to one of religions' many logical exemptions. Would you really say the same about other things besides God? I don't think it's a logical exemption. Nor is it "giving in." It's reasonable to approach unknowns with a skeptical attitude. Skepticism is neither denial nor belief, but suspension in between until solid evidence is provided. Claiming certainty where there is insufficient evidence is for theists. I'd like to think we're better than that. 
I'm a 6.9 because I'm a naughty, naughty boy.
But seriously though, I'm a 7 for all theistic deities and a 6 for indeterminate deistic intellects (though I would be more ignostic than agnostic in their regard). So it averages to 6.9 I guess? Nice.
"Every luxury has a deep price. Every indulgence, a cosmic cost. Each fiber of pleasure you experience causes equivalent pain somewhere else. This is the first law of emodynamics [sic]. Joy can be neither created nor destroyed. The balance of happiness is constant.
Fact: Every time you eat a bite of cake, someone gets horsewhipped. Facter: Every time two people kiss, an orphanage collapses. Factest: Every time a baby is born, an innocent animal is severely mocked for its physical appearance. Don't be a pleasure hog. Your every smile is a dagger. Happiness is murder. Vote "yes" on Proposition 1321. Think of some kids. Some kids."
