Evidence for God being "a superior being" ?

You're saying that a majority of Christians are rationalizing their God concept, correct? You're also saying that the underlying cause is absolutely unfounded on anything percieved, in any way, and thus everything that follows are just Christians wanting to believe and thus fabricating a belief around that, correct? If they're both correct I'm agreeing that some do. I'm also pointing out that the same intellectualization could be made by me stating "Tons of atheists just have daddy or childhood issues and hate God, that's why they try so hard to ignore/deny theism." I don't happen to believe that it's the case of a majority, but some for sure do simply hate blindly. Just as some theists have faith blindly. I allow that some people can actually think for themselves and come to their own conclusion rationally, logically and intellectually from direct experiences on both sides of the coin.
Macabre is a good word for that sort of humour. I like sick and twisted stuff like that. Smile

With the cause of god belief, the perception of an emotional experience is quite real, but its interpretation as coming from an outside god source is unreal, not exactly unfounded, since it is based on a very real emotion of 'being saved', 'letting jesus into your heart', 'feeling the power of the lord', blabbity blah blah. A book on cults long ago, called those powerful moments of awe 'snapping', which was also the title of the book. As for ignoring/denying god, only a believer can do that. An ignorer or denier still believes. They are just angry or whatever. Since atheists don't believe, we only get angry at what god is SAID to be like. Just like hating the main fictional character of a book, which in fact is exactly the case with biblegod, since it is a fictional book and he's the star of it.
I'm really shitty at giving kudos and rep. That's because I would be inconsistent in remembering to do them, and also I don't really want it to show if any favouritism is happening. Even worse would be inconsistencies causing false favouritisms to show. So, fuck it. Just assume that I've given you some good rep and a number of kudos, and everyone should be happy...
