I don't believe, because the probability of there being a god(that is a supernatural creator) is zero.

Hard to believe this dog of a thread is still limping along.

I never did get an answer to what it is I'm supposed to be "believing in" or "not believing in".

Take a science class. How often is the probability of something zero?

If you don't want to believe, then don't believe. It matters not to the universe. It will be just fine without you.

There are many things whose probability is zero.

Oh, but we already have what you describe. They're called robots. That's what you want to be. Mr. Roboto.

There once was a man who named himself Wisdom. But the man had a bad habit of doing foolish things. Why do you think he gave himself that name?

Maybe he hoped that by giving himself that name it would help him become wise?

Translated, I think I'll insult you instead of coming up with a valid argument.
