One of the basic problems with theists is that they have no idea what God is.

"God is love." In what way? God is just an emotion related to a chemical reaction in the brain?

"God is all powerful." Can he microwave a burrito so hot that even he can't eat it?

"God is omniscient." If everything in the future is already known, then what's the point?

It just goes on and on. Either God is some vague impossibility, or he's exactly the same as a human male, somehow. But a human male is not the same as God, so that can't really be right. But nobody can even give a real framework as to what he could be.

If you can't describe God no matter how hard you try, then what the hell are you believing in? That's the basis for ignosticism.
