It really does piss me off when they make assertions like that.
"You are as capable of imagining what God might be like as I am... therefore we are both Believers!!"
No, idiot, I'm capable of imagining dragons (good band!), too; it doesn't mean I'm so fucking delusional as to think they're real.
Hopefully, you're as adragonistic as I am... but if you're not, then pretty much everyone else on earth would say you're mentally ill.
But under identical circumstances, if you have a holy book about gods, then all of a sudden you're "deeply insightful into the nature of the universe".
Get the fuggoutta here with that bullshit.

A Christian told me: if you were saved you cant lose your salvation. you're sealed with the Holy Ghost
I replied: Can I refuse? Because I find the entire concept of vicarious blood sacrifice atonement to be morally abhorrent, the concept of holding flawed creatures permanently accountable for social misbehaviors and thought crimes to be morally abhorrent, and the concept of calling something "free" when it comes with the strings of subjugation and obedience perhaps the most morally abhorrent of all... and that's without even going into the history of justifying genocide, slavery, rape, misogyny, religious intolerance, and suppression of free speech which has been attributed by your own scriptures to your deity. I want a refund. I would burn happily rather than serve the monster you profess to love.
