Seven is weird like that.

It's the number of Yhwh. Now we're all going to explode in freak lightning bolt accidents.

DUDE! DO NOT PUT VOWELS IN THAT!

Ooops.

Great, now I really am dead.

6, because my favorite number is 962 and 6 is in the middle.  (Don't ask why my favorite number is 962, it just is)

I picked 10, because I either read somewhere or completely made up that of 1-20, most people will choose 17. Also, I happened to ask a friend yesterday, and he chose 17, which made me feel awesome about myself.

I think it's people choose an average between 1-5, 5-10, 10-15, or 15-20, so it's a lot more common to get 3, 7, 13, or 17

As an atheist, I think this is stupid.

Just my 2c

Also that is just the roman spelling. Yahweh is fine.

Nooo, I'm pretty sure there's a Jewish prohibition on writing out the name YHVH or JHVH or Jahve.

Not Jewish so doesn't matter then? Anyway, I'm done with that. Sorry I brought it up, just seems silly.

1! ha, I win, I'm the only one who picked 1 so far. Mostly because I figured this poll was a poll to try to get the most commonly stated number, and so reverse engineered human logic to find one which wasnt picked. Muahahaha.

Most of the time when someone is described as politically correct they are simply correct.

The poll was also engineered to find out people who do this.

7 is beating the three after it combined.

7 is awesome.
