Which I as an atheist do not share, so to channel Matt Dillahunty, why should I give a crap?

But nobody's asking you about 'gods and related detritus'. They're asking you the following:

Quote:1. Is there a Necessary Being?

Which Rasmussen's paper, one of the cornerstones of this survey/test remember, informs us is another term for God. Everything else beyond the point at which I cut off your quote flows from this foundation. On the basis of all this, if you want the most honest answer to this question from me, a permanent atheist - and you do seem really interested in my opinion on this - it would be "no" without hesitation.

I hereby retract my original Ackbar reaction (reAcktion?) of a trap in favour of this reassessed position:


At the age of five, Skagra decided emphatically that God did not exist.  This revelation tends to make most people in the universe who have it react in one of two ways - with relief or with despair.  Only Skagra responded to it by thinking, 'Wait a second.  That means there's a situation vacant.'
