You'd be Alice at that point
"Every luxury has a deep price. Every indulgence, a cosmic cost. Each fiber of pleasure you experience causes equivalent pain somewhere else. This is the first law of emodynamics [sic]. Joy can be neither created nor destroyed. The balance of happiness is constant.
Fact: Every time you eat a bite of cake, someone gets horsewhipped.
Facter: Every time two people kiss, an orphanage collapses.
Factest: Every time a baby is born, an innocent animal is severely mocked for its physical appearance. Don't be a pleasure hog. Your every smile is a dagger. Happiness is murder.
Vote "yes" on Proposition 1321. Think of some kids. Some kids."

I'm none of the above.... could be 8, could be 0. But none of your statements suit me.
I don't even know what you mean by "god"... something there is no evidence for, and you want me to say how I feel about it...
Like mermaids... no evidence, but if I saw one it would be science!
PS if you're about to post a reply and your response is going to be negative, improper, average, odd, obtuse, irrational, an argument, might change the focus, going off at a tangent or just mean ... go and find a maths forum to post on instead, they'll love you !!

I'm a 7. I will readily admit I cannot prove that god does not exist. But I live my life as if there are none, and have not found any reason to believe that one exists.
"Well, evolution is a theory. It is also a fact. And facts and theories are different things, not rungs in a hierarchy of increasing certainty. Facts are the world's data. Theories are structures of ideas that explain and interpret facts. Facts don't go away when scientists debate rival theories to explain them. Einstein's theory of gravitation replaced Newton's in this century, but apples didn't suspend themselves in midair, pending the outcome. And humans evolved from ape- like ancestors whether they did so by Darwin's proposed mechanism or by some other yet to be discovered."

7+ Against the gods of religion.
But I'm a 1 if I get to call a beautiful girl's ass a god, so I guess the devil's in the definition.

Around 6. I once thought I saw god, but it was just a retinal migraine.
I reject your reality and substitute my own!
