Theists should state and define exactly what they mean by it, not atheists. It is true that atheists should verify specifics of the claim made by theists in debate. Practice is that there is no one coherent formulation of theists of the god concept and that in many cases theists "define" it by referring to books like the bible or the quaran. This sloppy behaviour on what theists generally regard as the most basic fact of their lives, invites atheists to a practice of guessing which part of the bible are within the concept in a specific case. I personally hold the position that no coherent concept of god has ever been presented to me and that the god claim makes no sense. Your attempt to "clarify" for me is a glaring example of the many evasive manaouvres theists use to suggest clarity of an ill defined concept.
