That cuts both ways, mate. So why not introduce yourself, so we can get to know each other? And then we can have a proper discussion. We will probably agree to disagree when it comes to religion, but that's still a discussion worth having.

LW, you have no category I fit into.
But you should introduce yourself (following directions and typical forum protocol before posting stuff).

I'm a 7 against the well defined gawds, 6.99 against the loosely defined woo-woo "feel good" gawds.

Their all bullshit, but since I can't claim 100% certainty about all gods, call me a 6.9995. Smile

If I killed God, can I be an 8?

Yeah, that's the problem, "God" can mean almost anything, and the response depends on the definition.

For example, some people say God is the universe. Or the sun. In those cases, I accept "God" exists. So for a proper study, you need to be a bit more specific.

7 with regard to Yahweh, Alla, Zeus, the divine Jesus, and numerous other gods. 6 as to there being any sort of god at all.
If there is a god, I want to believe that there is a god.  If there is not a god, I want to believe that there is no god.

Dawkins is a 6.9...as am I.

There is no evidence for any of the gods created by the minds of men.

However, one cannot prove a negative.

I'm firmly in the "what exactly do you mean by God" camp, before that it's a 6.8 for lack of evidence
