Some, at least, do look out the window and see its not raining.

What are the odds of God and the afterlife?

Don't know how to calculate the odds, but I'm not betting on it.

Okay both would be rational because an umbrella isn't an item you use once and throw away. Even if one were to buy an umbrella on the "don't/won't" day they can still use it later.

So there's no real negative answer here.

You- Oh my god. This-

Look this isn't an apt analogy whatsoever. For starters even the average person can see a Cumulonimbus cloud in the sky and make a good guess that it will ran so they can have an umbrella prepared or buy one. The weather USED to be just like the god idea because we didn't know what causes the weather and used to believe that gods were behind the rain etc.

But now that we have proven methods that help us study and understand the weather our predictions are as close to accurate as we possibly can be and we're never not informed should we choose to be.

"God" is a completely different subject now. Because again we have no real basis to start looking and there's no hypothesis to get us going.

Now stop.
