I read the first two pages and then skipped to this page. (If anything of interest came up in between, somebody please let me know.)
Like you I have no verifiable evidence for things I believe in, like myself. Science can't yet tell me how the 3 pounds of meat in my cranium produces consciousness or stitches together the narrative from which I garner my identity. Nonetheless, like you, I do trudge along in faith that I am someone .. verifiable or not.
If my brain can produce "me" I see no reason why yours can't also produce "god". That would of course mean that, if indeed God exists for you at all, I would assume He is in your head. I just wouldn't think of that as something derogatory.
I think that has to be the nicest way anyone has ever told a Christian that God is all in their head.

That bit was during a morality debate with ole Bill Craig. I saw what you wrote, and I was surprised to see it was already on a meme. I didn't even have to do anything. I was rolling when I saw him say this the first time. The dude has class.
