How atheist are you?

I love it too, you're cool C_L.

I'm 100% certain none of the gods that we know of exist, but I'm not 100% certain there is no god.

[ohreally]

I'm a zero which means I never think about gods when people don't talk about them.  All of my interactions with gods rely 100% on people.  If you can think of something that only lives in peoples words and imagination then you know the feeling as well.

I don't understand what his point was of making this scale in the first place. Why the need to "measure" disbelief in something you find as silly as Santa Clause?

Yeah, I don't think a single 'measure' which places everyone on a single dimension running from god-is-the-realest to god-is-too-silly-for-words is very useful.  A better use is to try to carve up the universe of god believers and disbelievers categorically.  I don't think it really does that very well.  It is unfortunate that it can be taken as reducing to one number whose bigness or smallness tells you everything there is to know about you on the subject.

Gee, and hear I thought atheism was a binary proposition...you know...simply lack belief, blah, blah, blah.

And once again conflating atheism with atheist, for a cheap laugh.

To the OP, I'm a 6.99999 for intellectual honesty purposes, 7 for pragmatic purposes. For the Abrahamic bastard, jack that up to 11. Because I know as much as is humanly possible that it cannot exist.

Most days, for probably the past two years especially, I've been at a pretty solid 1. Though if I must be honest, I have had my days that slide a bit towards the 2.

I was somewhere between 6 and veering closely to 7 up until a few moments ago.Then I found a sweet little ladybug in my windowsill seeking shelter from dreadfully cold wintry mix beyond the pane.
I believe it's a Sign. 
If it survives til morn, I suspect that I will find myself between 2 and 3.
If not, I will devote my life to the pursuit of altering my frail human form into that of a cybernetic being who is worthy of the title Ladybug God queen.

I wonder whether it takes more faith to go forward with your belief in God in the clear recognition that of course you, like everyone else, could be mistaken, or, does it take more faith to psyche your self up to put all doubts out of your mind and insist that your assessment of the great unknown must be the right one?
