Is it strange that I want there to be a God ?

yeah... you keep telling yourself that. Say it enough times and you'll become convinced of it....wait, you've done it already!!

hmmm, how many have? and which?
Or people put that in people and then think it was some extra-terrestrial divinity.
I won't let anyone talk me out of it... if your god does exist and has presented itself to other people (not through wanting, but presented in a physical form), as is recorded in your holy book, then I expect the same treatment. Is it too much to expect?
Why must must I delude myself before I accept the existence of the delusion?
The wars... god itself helps win some wars, according to your holy book. If the guy's involved in wars, why would the evil of wars in the world be solved by this god?
I wouldn't expect it to be so...
How do you account for the free will of the people in the holy book's stories? Moses?... he met god, hence had no free will, so.... no kingdom of heaven for him. The same goes for Abraham, the apostles... heck, everyone!
Now, why must I believe the stories that were written about these people, instead of having equivalent experiences?
Why is it all done in such a way that, were the stories man-made/imagined, nothing would be required to change in the physical world we have around us?
Why must I delude myself that god exists before I have any experience of this god?
Why are all current "experiences" of the divine so camouflaged and mental that the only rational explanation for them is "man-made/imagined"?
Why, if god presented itself to some humans, can't it present itself to all humans?
Why, if god presented itself to some humans in one way (J.C, for example), did it present itself to other humans in a different way (e.g. Mohamed), giving rise to different religions and all the hardship and war those have brought on the world?

Could you condense your argument down to one point or two points I can respond to. I can't really find any argument here.

That's because you can't argue... clearly...
You can only repeat what I've seen written time and time again... like a parrot who says what it's been taught, but can't go beyond that.

Start with all the "why" questions I posed. I'll let you pick one, if you can't tackle them all in sequence.
