Two questions -- I'll explain soon

[Evangelicalhumanist]

Question 1 -- a baseball bat and ball cost $110 together, but that bat costs $100 more than the ball. How much does the ball cost?

Question 2 -- do you have a faith belief in a deity, or are you atheist or agnostic?

Less than $10?

Question 2 -- do you have a faith belief in a deity, or are you atheist or agnostic?

Agnostic

 

[Twilight Hue]

Forgot the decimal points. ;0)

Predisposed toward religion unless I get an education.

The ball is 005.

Atheist after being educated, would be my answer.

Question 2 -- do you have a faith belief in a deity, or are you atheist or agnostic?

$5. But I suck at math and I cheated and looked up the answer. Thank God for Google....oh, wait....I'm an atheist....never mind.

Question 2 -- do you have a faith belief in a deity, or are you atheist or agnostic?

$5 (took me less than 5 seconds)

I am a pantheist (we're even smarter than atheists who are smarter than theists)

And I'm leaving my brain to science when I go! (got an offer from the local High School biology club)

Bilingual response to avoid spoiling:

Go dollars.

And atheist.

On a side note, I had no idea baseball bats had gotten so expensive these days.

 

[osgart]

The bat is 105, leaving 5 for the ball. 100 is the difference in prices, not the prices itself. I did a table in my head, counting down from 110 til i reached 105, and counting up from 1 til i hit 5 and the 100 dollar difference summing 110.

Im atheist, with strong spiritual inclinations. Proto consciousness is fundamental i believe.

about $140.00 for a decent wooden bar these days.

Thank gosh I skipped math and graduated already!

Question 1 -- a baseball bat and ball cost $110 together, but that bat costs $100 more than the ball. How much does the ball cost?

Uh. Got as far as the bat and ball are 55 dollars each. but if the bat costs 100 more then its no longer 110? Her ignorance shows

Question 2 -- do you have a faith belief in a deity, or are you atheist or agnostic?

No.
Atheist.


How do the two questions relate?

1) Ummm... I have a calculator function on my smartphone... but I don't know how to use it.

2) unbeliever. (some call me atheist, some would call me agnostic. But they all can call me ex-christian)

 

[Revoltingest]

#1: I don't know.
(Items bought together are typically discounted from their separate prices.)
#2: Atheist and agnostic.

Question 2 -- do you have a faith belief in a deity, or are you atheist or agnostic?

$5, and yes, exactly

(Seriously, I am a stranger to the idea of belief in a deity).

To be formal, I am very much an atheist and technically also an agnostic - although that has become nearly inconsequential along the last few years.

Simple algebra you can do in your head:

A + B = $110.00

A - B = $100.00

Add the two equations together and simplify:

2A = $210.00

Divide both sides by 2 to get the price of the bat:

A = $105.00

And subtract a hundred bucks to get the baseball price.

Question 2 -- do you have a faith belief in a deity, or are you atheist or agnostic?

Unfortunately the first question is often seen in many forms so the answer already known. The second, agnostic as to a deity, atheist as to any faith in such.

Question 2 -- do you have a faith belief in a deity, or are you atheist or agnostic?

$5
Mostly agnostic. I have faith in humans, though. Not quite the same as faith in a deity.

 

[Gallowglass]

1. $5, because poor people need to be able to calculate prices quick and well.
2. Theist. (Non-Christian, Polytheist variety, Heathen if you want to be specific.)
