Well, that's very magnanimous of you. However, you assume that it's a level philosophical playing field only because you expect us to believe that
God is a real entity is a valid position in the first place.
We atheists are handicapped by our avowed reliance on rational, consistent application of logic. I fully admit that there are many phenomena we don't scientifically understand, but I don't assume that the key to these mysteries will involve the wholesale disposal of evidential empirical inquiry.
It's the believer who is unrestrained by the need to be objective or reasonable. He asserts that reality is whatever he understands it to be, and resents any criticism of his beliefs. It's as if the rest of the world were showing the utmost bad taste by expecting believers to conform to the same rules of human discourse as everyone else.
