Theists will say that they are 100% sure that god exists because they believe on faith. That was the rating scale of belief in the God Delusion. Very few atheists were the level 7 atheists, claiming 100% certitude of god's nonexistence.
Can't be 100% sure about Santa Claus, Tooth Fairy, Odin, Ra etc...
Odin was too badass to exist on our puny planet. I hope to make it to Valhalla anyway. My viking ancestors would be disappointed if I didn't.
This is stupid

What? Are you saying you have discovered a universal definition for " The Truth"? How wonderful! Let's have your definition and a few examples.
The "truth" is what ever the psycho pointing the gun at you wants it to be.

That's the most perfect description of the Old Testament god I think I've ever seen.
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.'

Get yourself cleaved in two or throw yourself off a cliff at the very end. Steep price of entry, they don't want any pansies in the Hall, serious business recruiting foot soldiers for Ragnarok.
I am the Infantry. I am my country’s strength in war, her deterrent in peace. I am the heart of the fight… wherever, whenever. I carry America’s faith and honor against her enemies. I am the Queen of Battle. I am what my country expects me to be, the best trained Soldier in the world. In the race for victory, I am swift, determined, and courageous, armed with a fierce will to win. Never will I fail my country’s trust. Always I fight on…through the foe, to the objective, to triumph overall. If necessary, I will fight to my death. By my steadfast courage, I have won more than 200 years of freedom. I yield not to weakness, to hunger, to cowardice, to fatigue, to superior odds, For I am mentally tough, physically strong, and morally straight. I forsake not, my country, my mission, my comrades, my sacred duty. I am relentless. I am always there, now and forever. I AM THE INFANTRY! FOLLOW ME!

Not sure the cliff would work. I need to die in glorious combat.
I seriously love Norse mythology though. Better than those greek pansies.

No no, I wouldn't mislead you, the cliff works, it's a last ditch effort for those habitually victorious in battle and staring down the barrel of dying of old age (and women-speaking of, since we don't find mass grave sites of females at the bases of cliffs...I don't think that norse women thought that Valhalla sounded so fucking hot, but what norseman would give a shit what a bunch of old hens thought was hot anyway, rgr?).

The "truth" is what ever the psycho pointing the gun at you wants it to be.
Well that theories flawed in a glaringly obvious way, any other definitions?
