For some reason, the idea that P(God) = 0.5 exactly amuses me. Thank you for the smile :)
It reminded me of one of my formative childhood books:
--Martin Gardner, Aha! Gotcha
He goes on to demonstrate the obvious contradiction, and points out some related fallacies. The whole book is great, as is its companion Aha! Insight. (They're bundled into a book called Aha! now.)
