The vast majority of Christians get a lot of theological things wrong. Just because the majority of Christians think/behave a certain way doesn't make that the correct Christian perspective.

Everybody else knows what I am talking about. Everybody else understands that it is neccesary to Define "God" before they place a degree of certainty on his existence.

The wording of your first post in this thread seems to indicate you don't understand this. I don't assign a probability that "god" exists because I consider the concept meaningless.
