Your religion teaches you 1000 things. Is it possible you are 82% right, or 27% right or some other number? - or is it an all-or-nothing proposition?

For me, as a Christian, I believe 100% of it is the truth. I'm a newer Christian so I don't yet understand everything. That is what faith is. I have faith that God will help me understand each piece as needed.

I hope that answers your question. :o)

I'm not sure I agree. If we were to agree on a definition of the word "God," then I might. For example, do you mean "as the Bible describes him," or "the Creator of the Universe," or "the highest and most complete form of consciousness which does in fact exist." Philosophers might well use the last one, thus making it sort of necessarily true. If you mean either of the other two definitions, I would tend to agree, but perhaps leave just enough wiggle room for the concept that there may be something of a higher dimension of consciousness of which we are a part. That is, a sort of collective soul which is composed of all consciousness in the universe when functioning as an organism.

So I guess you'd call me an agnostic.

Well, I am an agnostic which means that I don't know whether or not God exists. I was born a Jew. In terms of religions, we will never know what percentage a religion is right. Also, within a religion, people interpret things differently. Some islamics say that Islam is a religion of peace while others say that war is a holy duty.

Let me turn that question around, Do you think if you knew a incredible 1% of all possible knowledge in the universe that in the other 99% there could be irrfutable proof for the existance of God.

The 'numbers' concept mentioned in the above question should not be limited to atheists presently, it should include 'Christians' also. (Judaism and Islam already seem to have and apply it presently). God's way to say it was '2 or more witnesses. However, the definition of old testament as Genesis-Malachi does not fit it. The old testament being the 'law of Moses' does. (Law of Moses is also referred to as the old testament in scripture 2 Cor. 3:13-14 KJV). the two or more witnesses; Joshua, Nehemiah, David, Solomon, Malachi, Jesus, God the Father, Paul and others.
It is also one of the tests currently dividing USA; to God's disgust.

Q: Is it possible you are 82% right, or 27% right or some other number? - or is it an all-or-nothing proposition?

A: My scores have varied throughout my life irregardless of whether I believed I was wrong, or right at any given time.

well, ultimately, everyone is either just right or wrong, no matter what they believe. i suppose the amount of proof you have that your belief is real is the only way the stats would change from 50/50. but apparently "proof" is up to interpretation

Well i feel this way. you are entitled to your belief without me questioning it, and i am entitled to mine without you questioning it.
i have decided that i would rather live knowing that god exist and get to the end and realize he doesn't, rather than live like he doesn't and then get to the end and find out he does exist.

anyone you ask is always 100% right

even if you wait a month and ask again to find a diffrent answer...

but, funny this....the one that has the most evidence always seems to be right all of the time.

why gamble go with proof =)

The Catholic faith is 100 % true. Why? Because God who reveales it cannot decieve nor be decieved, He's truth itself.
