77% of Americans are delusional. Voltaire2 May 2018 #8

And one assumes that you do not consider yourself to be delusional. guillaumeb May 2018 #9

No I accept that is possible. Voltaire2 May 2018 #13

I also accpet that possibility for myself, guillaumeb May 2018 #15

Given so many contradictions between religions Bretton Garcia May 2018 #30

Wait, what? Voltaire2 May 2018 #41

No, I do not. guillaumeb May 2018 #46

No it wasn't. There is only one category of 77% Voltaire2 May 2018 #48

Read #13 in context, guillaumeb May 2018 #52

Seriously? Voltaire2 May 2018 #56

What percentage of atheists believe in a higher power? guillaumeb May 2018 #10

Those aren't atheists then. Ron Obvious May 2018 #11

But if they call themselves atheists, guillaumeb May 2018 #12

They can call themselves Napoleon too. Voltaire2 May 2018 #14

So no true atheist would so believe? guillaumeb May 2018 #16

It is, again, not a religion, nor a belief system. Voltaire2 May 2018 #21

If they call themselves atheists, guillaumeb May 2018 #22

You always have had trouble Lordquinton May 2018 #25

The question in that poll appears to be deliberately worded Mariana May 2018 #27

Someone might believe in the spirit of love.... Bretton Garcia May 2018 #31

Your guess is as good as mine. Mariana May 2018 #34

It amazes me how some can have absolute conviction Lordquinton May 2018 #35

Surveys usually don't ask for the respondents' definitions Mariana May 2018 #37

Which is why we get this "It all means the same thing, right?" Lordquinton May 2018 #38

The question was probably written that way intentionally Mariana May 2018 #39

Seems intellectually dishonest Lordquinton May 2018 #40

And the atheists who believe in a higher power? guillaumeb May 2018 #42

You aren't Lordquinton May 2018 #47

And you are? guillaumeb May 2018 #50

Sorry G-man, you aren't the arbitrator Lordquinton May 2018 #53

And you are the arbitrator? guillaumeb May 2018 #54

Really? I don't recall ever doing that Lordquinton May 2018 #55

A worrying sign for you. guillaumeb May 2018 #57

Where? Lordquinton May 2018 #58

Above thread, in #25. guillaumeb May 2018 #59

So no where? Lordquinton May 2018 #60

Was that a question? guillaumeb May 2018 #61

So no answer? Lordquinton May 2018 #62

Thank you for illustrating your tactics again. guillaumeb May 2018 #63

Why are you scared of answering questions? Lordquinton May 2018 #64

There are questions, guillaumeb May 2018 #65

And I asked a question Lordquinton May 2018 #66

Could an atheist believe an "indefinable something" started it all... yallerdawg May 2018 #17

It's perfectly reasonable, in fact wise, to say "I don't know". Ron Obvious May 2018 #19

A good question. guillaumeb May 2018 #20

All of those terms will mean different things to different people marylandblue May 2018 #33

So it's back to semiotics? Lordquinton May 2018 #36

Or semantics? eom guillaumeb May 2018 #43

I think those people are generally considered deists. Mariana May 2018 #28

I doubt that I would care enough to. Ron Obvious May 2018 #18

The questions are too vague to be helpful here. marylandblue May 2018 #23

And each person might "hear" the question differently. guillaumeb May 2018 #44

What the hell is a "universal spirit"? Mariana May 2018 #26

So what, in your own view, would this universal spirit be? guillaumeb May 2018 #45

I'm not going to make up a definition. Mariana May 2018 #49

True. eom guillaumeb May 2018 #51
