Well that was the point of my unicorn post. I was mocking the OPs logic about assigning probabilities. I intended it to be obvious sarcasm. I guess it wasn't?
A good way to threaten somebody is to light a stick of dynamite. Then you call the guy and hold the burning fuse up to the phone. "Hear that?" you say. "That's dynamite, baby."

sorry, I've run into too many people in this thread who think they can go from zero information to assuming that two things are equally likely - it's sort of my crusade for the day. went right over my head

Don't worry, there was a 50% chance he was being serious anyways right?

Haha, no, I think there's a 50 percent chance he's a unicorn.

edit: and as well all know, unicorns are never sarcastic.

Either a unicorn exists or it does not.

So the chances are 50/50

But why should only one unicorn exist? Why not 20 why not 30?

Why stop at unicorns? Why not dragons, and trolls, and umpa lumpas?

So it is basically a 1/ infinity chance that imaginary things don't exist. Since that is essentially 0, those things must exit.


Why do people insist on posting the first thing that comes to their head, without stopping to think about what they are saying in the slightest. Oh right, I'm on TL.

Any sort of god/supernatural being, basically by definition, would exist in a metaphysical reality outside our own. Do unicorns exist on earth? No. Might unicorns exist in some other galaxy or dimension/reality? Of course. They have a 1/∞ chance of existing (if you define a unicorn as a horse with a horn on its head) in some sort of metaphysical plane.

Why is infinity so hard to comprehend for people. This is the lack of imagination I'm talking about.

At least you are starting to understand the absurdity of claiming that there is a god, and that we can know him/them. At least that basic premise is getting through.

This is just getting tedious at this point, and I don't know how much longer I'll keep this up.

But I'm just dying to know what your evidence is for a specific deity/deities.
