Why Believe in God When the Odds of its Existence as real is So Slim?

I understand there are some pros with theological morality but at the same time has its cons.

Other than this limited moral benefit what are the other positives with theism and God?

Slim odds are still odds as odds exist if and only if there is some "slim" fractal which give them definition. .999999 exists if and only if there is .000001. God as nothingness is effectively God as entropy where we see the universe continually exist through a constant state of change.

To avoid arguments with people who, even if they are not practicing theists, still have some vestigial leftovers. Really saves a lot of hassle and talk on the subject.

People doesn't believe in God per se, they believe in Jesus which is The Word of God, a servant.

According to Gnostics they say that Jesus are from the realm of Barbelo.

Well if it's the realm of chaos then Barbelo must have been on planet earth for it begs the question, when was chaos not in control?
