How in the nonexistent hell are there two "1's" up there?

I like the number 7. No one knows, and that's the end of the argument, but looking at astrology, theological history, and the post-constantine political benefit of religion, I'd bet my life on the nonexistence of any Deity. Well, I guess in a sense I AM betting my life on it. When asked how I think the universe came to be, I give that answer that best sums everything up: Shit Happens.

I like the number 7.
A one is no different to a 7, both require a belief.
A 7 puts burdon of proof onto the theory, a 1 puts burdon of proof onto those disproving the theory.
I put BOP onto the theory too, but I remain a 6 until there is proof either way.

Well said. As I mentioned, it's without proof either way. But I'd bet a fiery rod in my pee hole that it doesn't exist. Everything is so very stacked against. But who knows? Maybe I'm wrong and I'll chill in hell with a toasty pee hole for the rest of eternity.  :D

I'd guess at two members here who would wear that badge with pride, and that's fine for them.

I don't even know where to start. I guess a "what the heck is a Serendipity" would suffice, unless you're actually talking about the word "serendipity," in which case you still lost me.

The closest thing we have here is "Serendipity Gourmet Deli." The cafe is in NYC, says Google. Next time I visit NYC, I'll be certain to check it out. Well, if I can get away from the vendor food and Jekyll and Hyde's. I miss being there :(

I still haven't been to J&H. Only because everything scares me...

They do! But it's more like being in a B rated horror flick than anything. It's just a great atmosphere.

i voted 5, though this may be dishonest.
i suspect God does exist, but i readily admit i have no prove of it.
i am beginning lean towards agnostic, and the God i believe in isn't really the God of the bible.
(which i think Dawkins was refering to.)
