Can you explain what is the significance of what I can only assume are weighting numbers for each question's answers?
Simply shows that a this point with twelve participants the aggregate total mix favors disbelief by six points or 40%.
Note: Each Yes or Maybe or No or Non-Applicable Answer counts as one point; there's no weighting. It's A vs. B, C, D.

Hold on, let me grab what I mean.
Here:
1. Does an Omnipotent Sovereign God Exist? A=5... B=2.5... C=4.5... D=0... Total=12
2. If so, has God revealed Himself to mankind? A=5... B=2... C=2... D=3... Total=12
3. Does God have a plan which includes you? A=5... B=.5... C=2.5... D=4... Total=12
Are these weighting numbers for each answer? If so, what is their significance? If not, why include them?
Edit: Ok, wait... I get it... they are running totals. Duuuhh...
Edit2: In my defense, the half-points confused me... yeah, that's it. 🙂

Note: "There's no ulterior motive nor hidden agenda; our stat summary will be transparent. Its pragmatic purpose is to promote worthwhile logical discussion and rational debate by identifying the playing field bias. Benefit will depend on our level of participation." (Page one) Half points [rather than rounding] are intended to provide an accurate profile.

I was wondering about the C, but then I assumed it had something to do with the omnipotent part. I hadn't yet made the full connection, thanks for clearing it up.

Rest assured, this thread will in all likelihood die well before the "31st of August". Why? Because the prevailing lifeblood motivation of participation in this forum is unfortunately closed loop argumentation. Thanks for your poll answer on page 1.
Hmm ... wonder what will be the probability of this thread not having at least 85 posts by 31st August [hidden]counting this post and Grampy Bobby's likely response[/hidden] 😞
