There is some quite good evidence against there being a single God:
1) Most theists can't even define it coherently
2) If they do, you get a different version from each one, even ones in the same religion
3) Christians are so divided about what is important to their God that they have over 40,000 denominations
4) Even among one denomination of one religion, people have different ideas about what God likes and doesn't like
5) God is always described having very human-like characteristics and emotions
6) Many theists take insults against God very personally
7) If you ask a theist for God to give them any information they couldn't easily get another way, they never can
8) They think God needs their help to communicate
9) Each theists seems to know an awful lot about God, yet it doesn't correlate with what other theists say, and they often also claim he is unknowable...
10) Some theists whine because "we're shutting God out" of various things, as if God needs secular laws to line up with his will before he can do things
11) God always agrees with each theist, even when the theists disagree with each other
12) There's lots of religions, all with contradictory claims, and the "truth" people "know" about God is very highly correlated with what religion they happened to be surrounded by
13) He used to blow people up for the slightest indiscretion, now he lets me call him a pissmagnet all day long
14) God is supposed to have a perfect plan, yet he keeps having to interfere with things in order to correct it
15) Prayer is fucking stupid, it either does nothing, or else God needs humans' advice in order to act efficiently
16) Theists often claim you can't be moral without God yet atheists do juuuuuust fine
My idea is the same as Darkmatter's: God is an idealised version of the self.
