Are you radical, irrational? The "Specific" ITAG Poll
 
Choice 3 is for folks who generally believe there is a God, but are not 100% certain.

Choice 4 is for folks who generally believe there is not a God, but are not 100% certain.

Well?

I will argue that folks checking either of the "100% certain" boxes are irrational.

I am 100% certain of that. :)

edit: I'm aware that the last two statements are logically identical, but choosing one over the other does show bias, IMO.

Best,

can't figure out the difference between choices 3 and 4.

See my edit, Logic Man. :)

Seriously, you don't see the bias of one choice over the other?

Would it be better to ask in the positive?

it is (highly) probable
it is (highly) improbable

In hindsight, perhaps!

I guess I didn't expect this much confusion. :confused:

This thread is much too young to die. :)

Those who are not 100% certain there is a God, will be soon...

Stuart, the: you guys don't like the choice wording?

Choice 3 is for folks who generally believe there is a God, but are not 100% certain.

Choice 4 is for folks who generally believe there is not a God, but are not 100% certain.

Hmm, I may be 50/50 on the god issue, so both choices still look equally attractive to me.

Well, the more difficult the choice, the greater the odds that your choice will be satisfactory.

You're radically moderate on this subject, it appears.

In the middle of the fence you straddle.

The likelihood of an invisible friend is infinitesimally small.

Define "soon" or give it a rest... :rolleyes:

I've been overrun by free radicals. :eek:

Poll results, so far, as I suspected. :)

Best,

+1

I don't believe in a judeo Christian god, but I also think we humans are pretty primitive creatures. There is plenty left to discover in this universe of ours. I am sure that with time we will come to discover and understand forces that are beyond our comprehension today.

Is there a God?

If the answer is no, the question is of little consequences

If the answerr is yes, the question is of infinite consequences

Generic "god" entity, not any specific religion's deity.
