RE: Quick Poll - Do you believe in God?

I go with what Javier Bardem said: "I don't belive in God, I believe in Al Pacino."
teachings of the Bible are so muddled and self-contradictory that it was possible for Christians to happily burn heretics alive for five long centuries. It was even possible for the most venerated patriarchs of the Church, like St. Augustine and St. Thomas Aquinas, to conclude that heretics should be tortured (Augustine) or killed outright (Aquinas). Martin Luther and John Calvin advocated the wholesale murder of heretics, apostates, Jews, and witches. - Sam Harris, "Letter To A Christian Nation"

Why do theists seem to think they can lie for me?

And we don't need to know "in our hearts" that they exist.

Because some of us don't think feeding a delusion is a good idea.

I'm intrigued.
What makes you think this?

There is only one answer to the question "Do you believe in God?" and that is "Which God?" - dialogue proceeds from there which makes theism look stupid, which, of course, it is. Apologies if I've already said this in this thread, it's just so very true it's worth a repeat IMO regardless.

I can't be bothered to go around and count the number of "none", "anti-theist", "are you kidding me?" responses, so I'd like to post this very simple poll.
It has two options. If you believe in some sort of God (doesn't matter if you are a Christian, a Deist, a Wiccan, etc) then answer "Yes". If you don't believe in God (and that includes people who don't think the question is relevant), answer "No".
I just want to keep things very simple; I don't want to cause a debate over terms; if you think you believe in God, answer in the positive. If you don't think you believe in God, answer in the negative. If you are unsure what you believe, don't answer at all.
You can discuss your votes below; in fact this is encouraged as it will keep the thread highlighted in search results and so more people will be able to vote. Hopefully we'll be able to get most of the active users within a few days.
YES
