Ask three theists what a God is. They will all give varied answers that perfectly fit into their fantasy of a sky daddy looking over them.
See? These are the people who actually believe in God and even they disagree with each other.
Seems to me that people just have a fantasized version of an imaginary superman that can protect them from all harms infested so deep into their minds that they will delude themselves to great lengths to hold onto it.
Furthermore theists have a common misconception that atheists do not believe in God(s) because they don't try or are closed off. They actually think that if someone tries *hard enough* they will believe in God. Well, if you *really* believe something is real, *really really hard* , you eventually delude yourself into believing it is real.
I have never seen a theist willing to put their beliefs to test. They do not engage in an open-minded discussion, they will tell you why they are right and will do so with an already made up mind that they are right. They aren't here to discuss. They're here to convince you why they're right.
To anybody that is out there still trying - Give up. You can't nullify delusion with reason.
