Firstly, God is not a hard concept to grasp, you're deluded if you think the reason why we reject it is because we understand it less than you. It's also a total fucking cop out to make that claim.
Secondly, why don't you explain this concept to us as best you can? We'll see if you can formulate and defend your belief without becoming self-refuting. Good luck with that.

This question is so very, very loaded from its very beginning to its very end.

I'm supposed to define your concepts for you? Like fuck I'm going to waste my time guessing what your exact concept is.

Then feel free to suggest a better question, or just answer it anyway.
Why should people worship god? I don't demand my children worship me and I (with a little help from my wife  ) created them. I do hope they love me as I love them and I try and teach them how to be good, but if they were to behave badly I wouldn't fill the bath and drown them (flood analogy).

You could at least give it a try, for goodness sake.

My father tried to drown me as an infant because I splashed him while he was bathing me in the tub. Fun stories from my childhood  . And my mother's still married to him. Probably one of the many reasons the flood story failed to come across as "just".
I remember reading something about God's great "mercy", allowing Noah to live, brushing off the fact that he he murdered billions of other forms of life. "Oh, but they were his to destroy!" Ugh.

You do understand that your asking me to select from a myriad of possible combinations of different types of theism? That's a fucking insane thing to ask me to do for you, I have no way of knowing what particular ideas you subscribe to or how you order your understanding of knowledge and justification...
Why don't you "give it a try" first.

There seem to be as many ideas of what god is as there are theists.
Its the fault of the religious texts which can be made to mean anything you like.
