That something, god, whose existence is asserted without creditable evidence does not need to be credited with possibility of existence worthy of note. It is a dismissal of a positive claim that provides no evidence. The assertion "the non-existence of that for which no creditable evidence can be produced is typically vastly more probable than its existence" is perhaps the single most powerfully effective heuristic possible in truth telling, certainly more powerful than "but jesus gives me meaning" by an almost inconceivably large magnitude.
Regarding your desire to "explore these conclusions", Our understanding of quantum mechanics and cosmology tells us the number of possible things is truly stupendously enormous Google or googleplex may not be exaggeration. But because a google plex is by no means anywhere close infinity, don't let your self think that means arbitrary bullshit fantasy, as in assertions without meaningful evidence, has any meaningful probability of being true. The number of possible bullshit is literally infinite. No amount of stupendously enormous can constitute a fraction of infinitely that is meaningfully different from zero. So If one is to explore every possible figment of imagination for which there is no creditable evidence, one would spend all eternity, rigorously deduce and examine each and every single one of the googleplex of possible things, and still have in probability made precisely zero progress, and be exactly where one has imagined himself to have begun.
I think even you must have an intuitive grasp of the above.
But your special pledging centers around your fantasy having fucked his own mother to give himself birth in order to get himself nailed to a cross for your benefit, and thereby made you feel your otherwise worthless self and meaningless life is worth some thing to someone fantastic and providing your life meaning in sucking up to him. So because you think your fantasy is so, uhm, elevating, it deserves special exemption from the fate normally rightfully given to all ordinary unsupported fantasies.
Please, be less stupid.
