Anyone here a Category 7?

[Angrboda]

In the past I've represented myself as a 7, but that depended on making certain things clear. When people speak of knowing something, they typically embrace the idea that it is known with absolute certainty. I liked Mathilda's point about the contextual nature of the meaning of "to know" but I would go even further and suggest that except in certain contexts, such as the question of God, the sense in which absolute certainty is required is never employed. Not in science. Not in everyday life. We don't even ultimately have a firm grasp on what even makes something knowledge. It's a very divisive philosophical issue. However, seeing that most people assume the sense of knowing with absolute certainty when discussing the existence of God, and I do hold that my beliefs could be in error, I incline toward a softer stance on the question if I'm not going to fully qualify my remarks as I have done here. Ultimately it's less a stance about our knowledge of God's non-existence as it is a concession to reasonable dialogue based on shared assumptions.
