My answer is clear:

There is no god.
What about you?

I believe Christianity has no more answers than Greek mythology, but the Greeks had cooler monsters. Neither of them gets anywhere in the ballpark of answering whether there is a god.

Too many overlapping options. I believe in several of those statements.

Your options can be mixed and matched. For example, I believe in a higher power in the universe which I can't explain, but also, ...Jesus was a real (not divine) person who preached his philosophy of love and peace, and also in the teachings of ____________ (please explain), and also .the Christian Bible (Old and New Testament) is allegorical.

Some of the same people that make statements saying, "There is no god" complain when Christians say their absolutely is a God. What is the difference on a faith level? At least Agnostics acknowledge they don't know. "Wisest is he who knows he does not know." However facts aren't everything. We are emotional beings. That is why in my heart I believe Jesus was the son of God. Foolish as it may be to anyone who doesn't believe. I find it foolish when an atheist plants a firm statement and marks a Christian as a fool when they make the same firm statement in the opposite direction. I can understand Agnostics more. At least they know they don't know.

I couldn't find any category to vote for but i found the thread sincere and interesting enough to elicit my two cents...

here's why i couldn't vote: i'd consider myself a christian, a committed christian, for lack of a better term. i think some of the bible is meant allegorically. some of it is intended to be taken literally. not all of it is true. i'd hold to the Nicean creed. and i intend no criticism of the poll, either, the options are well thought out. i am probably being too picky.

What about "I have no idea whether the Bible is literally true or allegorically true, but I believe that it's absolutely true"?

2 Timothy 3:16-17 (New Living Translation): "16 All Scripture is inspired by God and is useful to teach us what is true and to make us realize what is wrong in our lives. It corrects us when we are wrong and teaches us to do what is right. 17 God uses it to prepare and equip his people to do every good work."

Psalm 19:7-10 (New Living Translation): "7 The instructions of the Lord are perfect, reviving the soul. The decrees of the Lord are trustworthy, making wise the simple. 8 The commandments of the Lord are right, bringing joy to the heart. The commands of the Lord are clear, giving insight for living. 9 Reverence for the Lord is pure, rasting forever. The laws of the Lord are true; each one is fair. 10 They are more desirable than gold, even the finest gold. They are sweeter than honey, even honey dripping from the comb."

The Bible teaches that the Word of God is true, useful, clear, perfect, and so on, but nowhere does it talk about it being literally or metaphorically being true.
