For all of you...it should not require any thinking outside the box....
If God was Schroedinger's cat - the box would be empty. And anyone worshiping the box would be a moron. Which they are...

Oh the irony, you want us to "think outside the box," by putting

I'm glad you stayed in the box. What else do you see in there? Is it dark and scary? Stay away from the vial of poison.
They only let drippy out of the box for an hour a day and then he has to wear this funny little white jacket where the sleeves tie in back.

But Schroedinger is going to ask what happened to his cat named "God."
What do you tell him? He distinctly remembers putting the cat in there.

Then the though experiment is useless as ozzie cat had been exposed to so much shit its probably immune to the poison.
To-morrow, and to-morrow, and to-morrow,
Creeps in this petty pace from day to day,
To the last syllable of recorded time;
And all our yesterdays have lighted fools
The way to dusty death. Out, out, brief candle!
Life's but a walking shadow, a poor player,
That struts and frets his hour upon the stage,
And then is heard no more. It is a tale
Told by an idiot, full of sound and fury,
Signifying nothing.

Well I know what a cat is...if we obtained this "god" thing, can it be killed? If not, why stick it in the box? If it can be killed, then it's both, until we see inside.
I think you mean, let's put this "idea of whether or not God is real" in the box. And if it's actually still there after we die, then we'll know. But this thought experiment is supposed to illustrate the probabilities of the two outcomes, and without knowing something about a "God", the possibilities cannot be equal, sadly, it's far less!

Uhm... No, he doesn't. You probably do realize this, but Schroedinger never actually put a cat in a box with a vial of poison. It's not that kind of experiment.
