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

Thanks everyone in particular atheist colleagues here, for your presence and participation.
I will now resume my exchange with Mathilda.
If memory serves, we were talking about the information of the concept of God, and you ask me what is a god, and also we were talking about what it is to prove that something exists in objective reality outside of concepts in our mind.
I will no longer continue with Asmodee because he is not a serious and productive respondent.
So, dear Mathilda, is there something you know about the God that monotheists accept to exist in objective reality outside of concepts in our mind?
I refer to information, because I fear that you might insist that you don't need to have any knowledge of God because you don't believe in God, etc.
But with information, it will not compromise you at all, that people will take you to be already in any way committed to the existence of the object, you have information on in regard to its concept or definition.
So Mathilda, and dear atheist colleagues here, I am not into entrapping you into any tricky situation at all, then declare that you have already committed to this or that position.
You can always insist that that is a wrong impression from me, if indeed I am insisting at all that you have already committed yourself to that position whatever.
I have not gone to see what replies atheists have made to my long sporadic posting in an earlier hour here, sporadic because there were no respondents while I was into delivering one after another of my thoughts.
Can we Mathilda, and also dear atheists here, have a serious and productive exchange, i.e. without bringing in endless matters without any decisive importance to the resolution of the issue of this thread, or going into flippancies?
Okay, I will now bring up the Finnish Dictionary of Atheism, and no, you don't have to adhere to it, but just that there are atheists who know of the information of the concept of God similar to the information of the concept of God I have proffered here repeatedly.
See next post for my quote from that dictionary.
As regards how to prove the existence of something to exist in objective reality, if memory serves, I was into expounding on when we have a concept in our mind of something, then we can go forth in objective existence to search for evidence of that something that corresponds to the concept in our mind - and that is also a way to prove the existence of something.
So we have two items here:
1. The information on the concept of God.
2. The what and how to prove the existence of something.
