This is very likely my most controversial book. The goal is to establish probability itself as a deity and Probulism as a religion. It’s not how we typically think of a deity and this is a very different religion. It is more of a deistic god; one that is not concerned about the daily affairs of humans. It would a religion for skeptics, scientists, free-thinkers, and atheists, agnostics, and secular humanists.

I call the God of Probability, Probulos. No, I am not the God of Probability. Think of me as the messenger.
Based on Probulism, your purpose is to increase the probability of good things happening and decreasing the probability of bad things happening. See, it’s simple.

Probulism would have no dogma except to respect the laws of probability (You do not worship Probulos).
Probulism would be a religion based on Probulos, the God of Probability.

Albert Einstein famously remarked in a 1926 letter to Max Born:
“As I have said so many times, God doesn't play dice with the world.”
My theory is that God is the dice. What could exist outside of space, time, energy, and matter? The answer is probability.
The probability that space, time, energy, and matter would come into existence. The probability that the universe would be created. The probability that life would form. Probulos is the origin of every law of mathematics, physics, and nature.

Think of it as a thought experiment and a great topic for a free-thought discussion group. I compare and contrast Probulism with other religions and why I call it a religion. We examine the role of statistics and probability in our lives and how well it fits into a belief system based on science, reason, and the scientific method. This is a religion for those who do not have faith without evidence. It is a religion for the rest of us.

I hope you enjoy this Kindle book and if so, please review it and share it with your friends. You can help support my work by purchasing my other Kindle books.

The author, a baby boomer, was raised Roman Catholic. His parents were not very religious. He considers himself to be "spiritually challenged" in that he does not have the "faith gene" but the "skeptic gene". He will call bullshit when he sees it. As he states in 101 Reasons for Non-Belief, one only has to read the first four pages of Genesis to realize that it was "all made up."

I. M Probulos realized in high school that there were other religions and it did not seem fair or loving to condemn approx. 68% of the world's population to hell. He never had a falling out from religion like many others. That is the topic of Damnation by Probability (DPB): 75 billion in hell and counting, his favorite topic. His first book was, "The 12 Unthinkable Horrors." From that beginning, I. M. Probulos now has over 30 books available on Amazon Kindle. Most are related to free thought, religion, non-belief, and his devotion to promoting reason, rationality, and science over superstition, faith without evidence, and religious dogma.

For a fun take, try any of his humor books: Adam and Eve Revisited, What if Lucifer said No?, and his personal favorite, Donald J. Trump: Anointed by God, Jesus Returns. They are short, to the point, and funny as hell.

Technically, I. M. Probulos is not an atheist, but a deist, based on Probulism where Probability, itself is the first cause, outside of time, energy and matter. It is a type of deity--but one that you do not worship, only respect.

I. M. Probulos has over 30 Amazon Kindle books related to free thought, atheism, agnosticism, secular humanism, and deism.

The concepts that I. M. Probulos would like everyone to learn and use are:

Damnation by probability (DBP)

The Statistical Theory of Everything (STOE)

The Other God's Earth (TOGE) A parallel universe without sin, evil, or death.

The Illusion of Free Will (hard determinist)

The 12 Unthinkable Horrors of Human Existence (12 Unthinkable Horrors or 12 UH)

The difference between faith, reasonable expectations, and hope.

The difference between free will, a choice, and personal responsibility.
