I don't know...?

So you have no position with regard to any of the statements in the survey?

You don't believe that there is anything that has a cause?

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.

It seems like you're unwilling to think through the consequences of your beliefs. That is, you don't want to hear whether your beliefs entail the existence of a Necessary Being, because you think a Necessary Being eventually leads to God, and you don't believe in God.

So you're choosing to remain ignorant, lest you find out that your beliefs entail contradiction.
