If I believe that the probability that at least one god exists is exactly 50%, then am I an atheist?

11. FYI, I just served on a jury for your comment here.

At Sat Feb 25, 2012, 04:16 PM an alert was sent on the following post:

That is enough to be an atheist.

REASON FOR ALERT:

This post is disruptive, hurtful, rude, insensitive, over-the-top, or otherwise inappropriate. (See <a href="http://www.democraticunderground.com/?com=aboutus#communitystandards" target="_blank">Community Standards</a>.)

ALERTER'S COMMENTS:

It's rude for Curmudgeoness to speculate about a possible secret handshake requirement as though Boojatta might want to impose it, when Curmudgeoness just finished saying "I cannot see how" a particular requirement could be enough, a requirement that suddenly seems to be enough for Curmudgeoness.

You served on a randomly-selected Jury of DU members which reviewed this post. The review was completed at Sat Feb 25, 2012, 04:28 PM, and the Jury voted 0-6 to LEAVE IT.

Juror #1 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE and said: Snark is acceptable on DU.
Juror #2 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE and said: No explanation given
Juror #3 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE and said: Was this a real alert? I can't believe that someone actually clicked alert and typed that alert explanation. This must have been a bot-generated alert...is that a real thing?
Juror #4 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE and said: Holy shit! Either the alert function is being sadly abused, or I have simply had a bad run of being asked to adjudicate some spectacularly silly objections.
Juror #5 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE and said: No explanation given
Juror #6 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE and said: If that was worth alerting, then it is worth letting the alerter know by a jury vote that at least this juror thinks the alert was pointless, and perhaps like so many other alerts, simply an attempt to censor the person making the alerted post. This thread was about a religious (or lack thereof) concept that started on a pretty thin premise. I say let it go its natural conclusion uncensored. =STC=

Thank you very much for participating in our Jury system, and we hope you will be able to participate again in the future.
