jarednjames said:I have to agree with above. Given I dismiss the idea of a god(s) then I can't "not believe" in any of them. So for me it's a 0. But I'm not sure if I should vote as it would skew the results.

So you lack belief. You don't disbelieve. Correct?jarednjames said:I dismiss the whole notion of god(s), therefore there's nothing for me to believe / not believe.

jarednjames said:Correct.
Evo said:So you lack belief. You don't disbelieve. Correct?
Lacking belief means you don't even bother to consider the possibility enough to disbelieve. You don't even consider it an option that it could exist.Ivan Seeking said:You are saying that a God might exist but you've seen no evidence?

Borek said:The longer the thread, the more I think it should be deleted or moved to philosophy.
FlexGunship said:No, please! The thread isn't doing anything wrong... its those silly forum members. They keep arguing about minutia. The thread itself has actually been very well-behaved!
Furthermore, I was told that it made an anonymous contribution to your favorite charity.

Evo said:We could fix it by asking "how many gods do you lack belief in?"
You guys forgot how to have fun. Just enjoy the freaking irony of this thread. Have fun! :PAlephZero said:That only fixes it if you can prove the existence of at least one god.
Otherwise, it is in the same "meaningless words" category as a variation on Bertrand Russell's standard example, "how many kings of the USA have been bald".

FlexGunship said:Why "but"? Shouldn't you say "and"?
"You have an interesting sense of humor, AND I like it."
What a curious distinction you've made!
Nismar, you seem to be very intelligent, but I like you.
nismaratwork said:Good point, you have a good sense of humor, AND I like it, and you.

FlexGunship said:Geeze, dude, calm down... you're acting all, like, you want to hold hands, or something... pfffst...

FlexGunship said:I'm never gonna' give you up, Nismar. Never gonna' let you down.
FlexGunship said:I mean, just imagine, you could invent a god and be like: "hey, I just invented this god--" and they would be like: "no way! Tell me about him so I can believe in him!"
