what would you identify as?

[Lemonvariable72]

50% I guess

I believe in God. I don't think anyone can know either way if he exists. How can you prove it?? To entertain such a question you'd have to think that immaterial and atemporal were things we could study.

For a deistic god your point is perfectly valid. However that is not what the bible teaches about the Christian god. After all we know the bible clearly states that moses spoke to a material being on that mountain where he experienced god, and genesis tells us that god rested on the seventh day. That clearly demonstrates that he uses a sense of time and us not atemporal either.

Mark me down as agnostic atheist.



As others have explained I would be a 7 with regards to the OP's God. However I admit the possibility of the god of the deist depending on how they define it.

However, if there is a God, I give him 0/10 in all categories. You fucked up son.

1-7, where do you stand?


6: very low but indeterminate probability that gods exist

Fixed to allow me to choose one.

The trouble with the scale as given is that I have no basis for assigning a probability that gods exist. In truth I find the very definition of gods to be incoherent to the point that I'm not sure what it is I'm supposed to be looking for. Given this problem, no probability can be assigned.

However I prefer to say it is very low in that I have no expectation of ever discovering one. But on the other hand, I'm not invested in there being no gods. I welcome whatever comes. I want the truth (whether I can handle it or not). If gods there be show them to me, please. But in all seriousness I have no expectation of that happening.

False. Unless you think that a disembodied voice you can't look at eminating from a bush burning but not consumed by the fire constitute a material being. God put time into place. That doesn't make him bound by it.

Thomas put his hands into the Jesus ghost side. None of the stories would stand up against skeptic scrutiny. Why... because God cannot be proven naturally.

I believe God continually shapes and manages this reality. In fine detail. I cannot know this. I believe it. I'm convinced absolutely that this is true.



Gnostic theists and atheists are idiots. Just sayin

1-7, where do you stand?

When you answer, could you also put down if you're an athiest, christian, etc? Example: "6, athiest"
After gathering enough information I'll explain why I'm curious as to what you all think. Thanks, and God bless! :3

1: strong theist. 100% probability of God
2: very strong possibility, but short of 100%
3: higher than 50% but not very high
4: 50% completely agnostic
5: lower than 50% but not very low
6: very low probability but not 0%
7: strong atheist. 'I know there is no god'-0%

EDIT: apparently a lot of you didn't like the fact I didn't introduce myself first, and the reason why I didn't is because I was in an argument with my brother about atheists and Richard Dawkins book "The GOD Delusion". In his book he says that on this list he's met hardly anyone who would identify as a 7. Even Dawkins himself says he's a 6, leaning towards atheism. The argument ended up being whether or not the majority of atheists would identify as 6, or 7. I believe(d) the majority would say 7. My brother on the other hand said 6. So I was just trying to gather the information as quickly as possible. I couldn't find anything online so I created my own thread. I'll make a post in the introduction section when my phone is charged.


Thanks for all the replies!

i would change # 1 to read 100% certainty and happy to bet on it hahah
Then you could count me as a 1

[CapnAwesome]

Of God, I am a 6. Of whether or not that was a massive battle between the Nephi and Lehi in North America, I am a strong 7.
