If you had bothered to read the original post, rather than rant about how you were the new messiah in between posting random and unrelated YouTube videos (btw, please stop that), you would have realised that I asked the question to try and count the number of atheist and theist members of the site. I expected there would be a majority number of atheists, but the question was aimed at finding out exactly how many in comparison to the number of theists (and also finding out who is active).

RE: Quick Poll - Do you believe in God?
I believe in God and god (and gods - and goddesses of course) in the same way that I believe in Bilbo Baggins, Aslan, and the Jolly Green Giant, and other such characters. As well as fairies, Father Christmas and angels. I believe they are all fictional characters constructed in the minds of people as a means of exercising some kind of power over others. In the vast majority of cases that power consists of no more than keeping children entertained and therefore distracting them from attempts on each others' lives, or from inappropriate wakefulness at bedtime, but on some occasions with somewhat more malevolent intent.

However, in deference to the implication that you mean "God" as referring to an actual "real" being (in a sense akin to that in which I can myself be regarded as "real"), I answered the poll with a "No".

I would further like to say that, given the opportunity, I would have liked to have made that "No" a resounding one.

How is the Jolly Green Giant used to exercise power over others?? Thinking

See him standing around, arms folded, like a Goomba.

It's a bit better than: Yes yes yes yes yes yes yes yes ...YES!

But you have that covered right.
Oh wait, who am I kidding! Yours is more like: Yes no no no no no no no no ... YES, because for some reason YOUR god is special! Big Grin

If you don't believe in God (and that includes people who don't think the question is relevant), answer "No".

How would one answer "sometimes"? Cos I reckon that's probably how it is for loads of folk.
