The Hayter-Braeloch Scale
|
I am a four
So am I
So where does Dotard fit in this list as he is God?
Best regards,

I guess I'd be a 4.5 on that scale. The existence and/or non-existence of god(s) probably cannot be conclusively established, but I am pretty certain that there are none.
I'm probably around 4.8
I think that there are a number of arguments that point towards the impossibility of god, but none of them are entirely conclusive.
He who desires to worship God must harbor no childish illusions about the matter but bravely renounce his liberty and humanity.

I've been a life long 3 with leanings to 4.
I've always asked, if a god exists - does anybody care? 
4.99.
i do have a problem with your definition of theism though, deism should more fit the bill for that kind of assertion. A theist, in the most widely used sense, is a monotheist and believes that God was the creator of the universe and is still around. Deism can be used sort of as a placeholder for values yet unknown, the "how" of universal origins, rather than the "why", which is what theism tends to deliver.

(June 1, 2010 at 1:06 pm)Caecilian Wrote: I'm probably around 4.8So what you both meant was '4'.  I love how people try to create new places on the scale despite the fact it doesn't measure this. Paul invented a new metric of "certainty", whilst Caecilian decided the more arguments you had, the closer to 5 you were Just to clarify, this scale has 5 points on it. You are one of the 5. It only measures belief and your view on whether the existence of gods can be conclusively established. It doesn't measure the number of arguments, or how certain you are. @tavarish: Deism still involves a God, which is why we list it under theism (and explain theism as any concept of God, including the ones you mentioned). |
