Bookie odds on the existence of G-d

Everybody's favorite commie is posting an interesting hypothetical about what a betting spread would look like over a definitive answer to the question of the existence of The Divine. He's looking for answers and since I'm a serviceable guy I'll give two:

First, I'm not sure what the market spread would tell you about the existence of The Most High, but I'd be pretty sure what it would tell you on the likelihood on Old Screwtape collecting the vig;

Second, I'd like to go with the classic high school suburban football headline from the Washington Post from a few years back: Christ the King Stomps Eleanor Roosevelt; star quarterback shows no mercy or forgiveness in stunning come from behind victory

With that, I'll take the Saints and 6 1/2 points.

"Christ the King stomps Eleanor Roosevelt . . . " what a visual.

But taking the Saints? I think the irony of naming a team from New Orleans "The Saints" is such a profound act of cynicism that God takes special delight in their suffering.

Well, New Orleans used to have an appropriately named team, the , but lost them. Now the Jazz are in the heart of Mormon country. How odd is that?

Wait...I thought that Monty Python had proved the existence of Jehovah by two falls and a submission.
