@TickTockMan,
There is a single truth which, by definition, must apply (must be true) for everyone. You can't find anyone that disagrees about 1+1 being 2.
Either gods do exist OR do not. You can't have it both ways.
So when people say "for me, gods exist because I believe", it doesn't make it true for everybody, because truth must apply (
must be true) for everybody. The theist person, in their own mind,
believes gods exist, even if it's impossible to know it (to prove it). So the theist is up there at 100% belief - personal, in their own mind - not doubting for one second the existence of gods. 100%.
Now, you would assume the atheist person must be at 0% belief right ? Well you'd be wrong, because that would make the atheist as irrational as the theist.
Why ? Because the atheist can
never prove by any means the non-existence of gods (or blue flying pigs). So being 100% certain gods DON'T exist (that is, have 0% belief in gods) would put the atheist in the same bucket with the theist - being certain about something without proof.
What an atheist actually does is objectively judge the probability of gods to exist and of course he comes up with next to zero support for believing in gods. So an atheist's belief in gods tends to 0% while never reaching it (0% would mean the atheist can
prove gods don't exist).
