The answer to your question, though, is that you can change my mind with sufficient evidence. I can be made a believer, assuming you have a good enough justification for believing.

Before I go into that I need to ask you some questions.Do you agree?

Sure, okay.

What I find sad is this adult accepts belief in a god next to which he can feel like a coddled baby .. and he likes it.

At the age of five, Skagra decided emphatically that God did not exist.  This revelation tends to make most people in the universe who have it react in one of two ways - with relief or with despair.  Only Skagra responded to it by thinking, 'Wait a second.  That means there's a situation vacant.'

I've seen nothing adult to this point. There may be hope yet but I'm not holding my breath.

Okay so.

What is your intention.

Do you want God to exist?
or 
Do you want him not to exist?

Would you be happy if he does exist?
or
would you be sad if he does exist?
