Sadly, I find your disagreement implicitly supports

-the notion that- there is ANY SENSE what-so-ever! to a materialistic culture's manic efforts to PUT NUMBERS on.. Everything willy-nilly, including the fucking ineffable

1) Believe in 'god'? 47 points
2) Believe in God? 53 points
3) Believe in a 'personal'-'god'? 56 points
4) Believe not in {yada}? -37 points per each variation
5) Believe in belief? ..
6) Believe in stupid multiple-choice questions? ..
