Look, belief in a gaseous vetebrate that has nothing better to do that eternally punish those who transgress its arbitrary and mutually contradictory regulations would be kind or cute, in a mutant, two-headed tortoise sort of a way, if the folks who did believe just that were ready, willing, and able to kill those who think it's a stupid frickin' idea.
I am pretty sure that there is no god in the sense that most people mean when they say they believe in one. Mostly, I think that God is just the echoes in people's heads of their own higher brain functions, and that religious faith is just self confidence misplaced. (Certainly it is some sort of confidence game.)
