Evidence for God being "a superior being" ?

You are moving the goal posts during the game. Isn't that a convenient sentence in there: "any Christian I've spoken with" (underling by me). The underlined part makes it unverifiable for others.

Fact is that many christian believers take literal parts of the bible that you don't when it suits you. You are redefining god under our very eyes here. There is no definition given in advance we can evaulate it against.

Redefining terms here. Subjective evidence is no evidence since it cannot be shared. So moving a goal post there.

I am not stating that my non-belief implies that you are playing games, that's just ridiculous.
I don't doubt your sincerity of belief, but belief requires an unevidenced disposition that pollutes the mind.

Don't try that one on me again. The point I've made is so on subject because we need a stable definition up front of "God" and "superior being" to be able to address and evaluate it.

Don't shy away now, I leave open the possibility that you might one day be able to consistent and coherent formulation of these concepts even if you haven't done so before.
