Gotta echo what ShaMan said, it really sucks and makes it hard to converse with you if you tell us what we believe.

What do you define your self as if you are not a theist or an atheist.

Do you mean you'd never be so bold as to make an absolute claim? Like the absolute claim that absolute knowledge can not be possessed? Thinking

Oopsie Angel

Or the claim that atheists claim to have absolute knowledge? I've never heard anyone around here claim that.

So you think gods may exist or are you certain they do not?

I said I wouldn't be bold to proclaim absolute knowledge. Saying that atheist and theist proclaim absolute knowledge is not the same. It is a claim that has been very well researched and is an extremely minute piece of knowledge.

Does a god or any gods exist? I don't know would be the correct response. Instead it's yes or no.

I'll rate your attempt to mock me at a 1.5, 1 being the least possible and 10 being the best.

And yet you claimed that absolute knowledge "can not be possessed" which is a statement of absolute knowledge on the subject. Please learn how to debate properly, and prepare for your fallacies to be demolished as quickly as they're constructed.

(Bold added)

That part in bold (which you proclaimed) was made (by you) as a statement of absolute knowledge on the matter.
