It's interesting that you would claim that after explicitly insisting that we think sideways all the time, don't you think...?
Okay. Let's just skip the formalities : what would be your reaction the moment you find your house broken into and your money taken..? I want a direct answer and the underlying reasoning that led to it.

And what about your inability to recognize "something can't come from nothing" as true and that it doesn't involve special pleading.. since there was no nothing that preceeded a deity, eternal by definition. That's a very simple coherent thought you're dishonestly avoiding ....!!?

If you object to the way I think then theres really nothing you have to offer me. If you object because you think I'm wrong...well......good luck communicating that without some reference to objective and coherent propositions.
I am asking you to apply the same rules of thumb you use on a daily basis to the god question. If you think they're not reliable, you should normally stop relying on them altogether, as a rational skeptic.... Am I asking too much?
