Not even as likely as it would be for a buffalo to be in the fridge.
If we don't have a clue what constitutes the character "God"
We've never seen one.
Never heard one.
Never experienced the slightest inclination that such a thing exists.
How do we "believe" anything about it? There's no substance to form a belief around.
But there are a SHIT ton of people who are all too happy to tell you about what they BELIEVE God to be. And what they say can be rejected if what they say is self-contradicting, lacks demonstrable evidence, poorly defined etc. It's the things you say about God that allow us to do this.
