I am a theist, what do you think of my proof for God existing?

Choose the correct appropriate word, otherwise you are not a critical reader much less a critical writer.

And you are betraying your limited grasp of thinking and writing on truths, facts, logic, and the history of ideas.

Suppose you make a write-up for the proof of the existence of atoms in objective reality outside of concepts in our mind, step by step.

You are stating your conclusion, that a god exists, in  your first premise.

Why don't you try looking it up before making yourself out to look like a horse's ass?
