----> argumentum ad populum
And the probability is near zero, because even though there are a few thousand definitions of God for which there are believers it doesn't mean that the real God is among them. It could be a definition of God for which there are no believers or organisations, and I don't know about you but I can nearly think of an infinite definitions of Gods with an infinite number of attributes.
That's why I think that, in the impossible event of a proof of a "God" (whatever that means), none of the definitions of God that humans could think of would be true.

This is the gist of Pipers arguments.
Jesus loves me this I know because the bible tells me so.

And plenty of them are perfectly willing to kill each other for his 'glory.'
What an absurd argument.

So what? The truth is not something you vote on. Just because a lot of people believe something does not make it true!
Science flies us to the moon and stars. Religion flies us into buildings.
God allowed 200,000 people to die in an earthquake. So what makes you think he cares about YOUR problems?

It's the herd mentality, Thor. He likes to feel like he's part of a really big herd.
All sheep do.

Yeah, and the Bible also tells you that you can own slaves! Why don't they sing about THAT in church?

Very true. It reminds of something I saw scribbled on the wall of my high school: EAT SHIT! 800 TRILLION FLIES CAN'T BE WRONG!

And isn't it funny that they spend more time fighting each other (even Muslim against Muslim in the case of Sunni vs Shite) than they spend fighting unbelievers?
Its a case of my God is better than your God, and this war has being going on since the first two tribes with different religions met each other.
A finite number of monkeys with a finite number of typewriters and a finite amount of time could eventually reproduce 4chan.
