I mean, you are a theist right? And the God you believe in is imaginary and childish right? And you do have a relationship with him like you would a friend right?

Changing the name of someone else's imaginary friend doesn't make a person a dick. If I had an imaginary friend called Alf and you insisted on calling him Benny, you wouldn't be a dick just because I was a moron who had never grown up. Who cares what I called my imaginary friend, it wouldn't make you a dick for being unable to resist having a little harmless fun with my unbelievable idiocy.

Theism is too cheap to cheapen.

...and so you double-down on proving my point.

How exactly does it prove your point if your beliefs really are indeed akin to an imaginary friend? Seems to me like you're doubling down on dickishness by doubling down on merely stating that it's dickish to change the name of someone's imaginary friend, without having the intellectual honesty to explain properly or give an actual argument for how it is dickish.

I have explained why it isn't dickish, you haven't bothered to explain why it is, and you're just kind of being a dick to be honest.
