I'd say the probability of deistic gods are still next to nothing. Just less ridiculous and more probable.
I mean, any kind of supernatural deity being at the very beginning of existence sounds very absurd to me. The universe goes from the simple to the more complex. Even a non-personal deity that just creates the universe and does fuck all sounds very ridiculous to me. Just less ridiculous and improbable on the cartoonish level that personal theistic gods are.
What d'you reckon?
Oh and EP please consider my post to you entirely impersonal. I can do impersonal with you. I'm good at impersonal when I try to be impersonal. I don't want to stop discussing stuff on AF with you just because we're not exactly friends right now (biggest understatement of my life... you'd be my enemy if I actually had enemies). And I was wrong to ever think me and you were alike, at least in personality or character. We're exact opposites IMO.
I'll ignore the last part of your post. That was just awkward and unnecessary. If you wish to be impersonal, stop being personal then.
I agree with your opinion, ofc. Thank you for your reply. Exactly what I wanted to hear.
