This poll could be better made, why?

Radio buttons instead of check boxes -- I beleive god shouldn't be beleived because there is no proof of him - yet, he still shouldn't be beleived because it is grounds for unjust religious hate and wars (you could probably figure where).
 
I chose 'Religion causes wars and is bad for society'.

Although, I don't see why this option was included in the poll since religion and God are not related (in my eyes).
 
As a...something or other...I have the uttermost convinction that the answer to "Does God exist?" is a solid, certifiable "Maybe".

I would believe, I think. I don't know. I tend to consider it outside the world, as opposed to demonstrative of it.

I believe that saying "There is no proof" is quite lame. There are no proof that he doesn't exist either! Conclusion: we don't know.

And therefore God is just a substitute for saying "I don't know".

Of course it's bad for the community too, but I can't vote twice ;)
 
I'll summarize me being agnostic by this simple question:

How could I believe?

that says it all. There is no reason for me to believe, so I don't. it's as imple as that.
"because I want to" is not a valid reason by the way...

pretty well sums it up. but there are social implications to consider as well.
i didn't vote but if i did it would be there is no proof of a god. evidence maybe but that can be said of abiogenesis. hey doom, wanna see who can get to the top first?
