When you say probably, Forsaken, I assume you mean that the chances are infinitesimally small. What we're talking about here is something that is less likely than, well, this guy
existing.I am clarifying, because I usually put tradiional monothiestic Gods in the same category as mythical beings and similarly ridiculous concepts, like any of the infinite possible unfalsifiable claims that I could make up.
My conclusion is that there is no reason to believe any of the dogmas of traditional theology and, further, that there is no reason to wish that they were true.
