Where do you rate on Dawkins scale?

1.Strong Theist: I do not question the existence of God, I KNOW he exists.
2.De-facto Theist: I cannot know for certain but I strongly believe in God and I live my life on the assumption that he is there.
3.Weak Theist: I am very uncertain, but I am inclined to believe in God.
4.Pure Agnostic: God’s existence and non-existence are exactly equiprobable.
5.Weak Atheist: I do not know whether God exists but I’m inclined to be skeptical.
6.De-facto Atheist: I cannot know for certain but I think God is very improbable and I live my life under the assumption that he is not there.
7.Strong Atheist: I am 100% sure that there is no God.

I rate myself a 6.9

I'm a 6.
Even if the open windows of science at first make us shiver after the cozy indoor warmth of traditional humanizing myths, in the end the fresh air brings vigor, and the great spaces have a splendor of their own - Bertrand Russell

I'm a 6.99999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999....

Every second passed it adds another 9 to the sequence, I'll never be a 7, but everyday the concept of god is diminuished.

You get the idea.

I would have rated myself as a 6.9 recurring, simply out of deference to humility of reason (as in it's usually held to be unreasonable or even arrogant to deal, Sithlike, in absolutes). However, for all practical purposes I'm a solid 7. No demons under my bed, no gods in my reality. Maybe a few bats in my belfry but they're company for me at night.
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.'

It's a fucking awful scale that confuses definitions and misunderstands the nature of belief and knowledge.

I believe myself and Ryft (formerly Arcanus, aka Braeloch) created a more accurate one: https://atheistforums.org/thread-3817.html

I have a certain distaste for the emoticons, and particularly despise the laughing/rolling dude when used in response to one's own statement, but.....

Holy fuck that was funny! "Nearly naked, body all ripped,....". Oh, fuck me. I'm still laughing but can no longer piss myself since I've emptied the tank.

I'm absolutely a 1.
God loves those who believe and those who do not and the same goes for me, you have no choice in this matter. That puts the matter of total free will to rest.

He ? What the fuck is this "he" shit, Kemosabe?



Not having read Dawkins on such subjects, I'll give him the benefit of the doubt. However, it sounds suspiciously like Dawkins knows fuckall about religion and psychology. (And yes, Dawkins uses the masculine pronoun in the book. I chose not to acquire Delusion on account of what seemed credible complaints about his scholarship. I'm hardly encouraged at this juncture.)
