You seem to be having a reading comprehension issue.
Oh, that was an exaggeration for rhetorical effect. But you already knew that. You just wanted to play dumb for rhetorical effect.
Well, you seem to know the effect that every possible definition of God has on the probability that God exists. Which means that you know a lot about the probability that God exists. Which means you're either certain He doesn't exist--which means you know something I don't, and I'd really like you to tell me about it--or you know a lot more about the specifics of God's probability distribution than any other philosopher or mathematician I've ever read--and I'd really like you to tell me about it.
Or you were just exaggerating for rhetorical effect.
Well, when you start from a neutral position (agnostic atheist), trying to rationalize a crazy, all-powerful wizard is responsible for your life and you're bound to worship him.... It doesn't make sense.
