An atheist can study what Christians think. A Jew can study what Hindus think. I know a Buddhist who's one of the world's leading experts on the medieval Muslim world. It's not accurate to assume that atheists only know what atheists think.
I have studied Christian thought quite a bit.
Quote:You implied that god can not do these things
No I didn't. Please read more carefully.
I said that most educated Christians wouldn't expect or demand God to do those things, or declare that such things are required for belief.

I doubt the accuracy of your figure.
Anyway, neither truth nor quality are determined by popularity or the percentages of belief.
Quote:I'm not really interested in debating the god concept of that one smart guy who did have a nervous breakdown and is a paranoid schizophrenic now who is talking to god and his god concept is something totally alien to 99.9999999999% of all Christians.
You seem to be dividing the whole Christian world into those people who see God as Superman, and one smart guy who went insane. This is not accurate.
It's important not to reduce a huge and diverse group of people down to one cartoonish straw man version. Christian thought includes a wide variety of views. Just because you used to believe the silliest version doesn't mean that everyone does.
