At this point in my life I feel certain that God is real. But I have had doubts before.
So in Dawkins Scale speak you'd be a 1 or 2? Or maybe a 1.0000000001

Haha, well I think he was a little loaded in the way he wrote #1. I dunno. It's not that I have never questioned, or that I never weigh possibilities in my head, it's that at this point I always come to the firm conclusion that there is a God. The way he wrote it made it sound like the person never actually thinks about it. But yes, I feel as certain that God is real as I am certain that my husband loves me. And that feels 100% certain.
"Of course, everyone will claim they respect someone who tries to speak the truth, but in reality, this is a rare quality. Most respect those who speak truths they agree with, and their respect for the speaking only extends as far as their realm of personal agreement. It is less common, almost to the point of becoming a saintly virtue, that someone truly respects and loves the truth seeker, even when their conclusions differ wildly."
