If the human brain was simple enough for us to understand, we would be too simple to understand it.

Unfortunately, it's not yet happy beer time over here, so I don't really get what you're saying 
. I'll be sure to bookmark this thread so that I can join the lively discussion once I'm inebriated as well.

Oh, that some one would save them from their Saviour!

That's about the most vague critique of theism I've heard. Not quite the most ridiculous, but it does rank highly in that area. What is that "it" you're talking about? What definition of "it" could possibly be "deeper than God", who is the highest personality in philosophy, among other things?
Oh wait. You're drunk. Couldn't quite tell.

Richard Dawkins: “You only need to use the word ‘faith’ when you haven’t any evidence.”
John Lennox: “No, no, not at all. I presume you have faith in your wife. Is there any evidence for that?”
Dawkins: “Yes, plenty-”
Lennox: “Hmmm”

You meant "the idealised highest personality in philosophy , by definition because we can arbitrarly decide to give an entity the qualities we want by using language " ?
Between what i think , what i want to say ,what i believe i say ,what i say , what you want to hear , what you hear ,what you understand...there are lots of possibilities that we might have some problem communicating.But let's try anyway.

I think I get it. Good and evil exist whether God does nor not.
I want to be the girl with the most cake.

Hey, that wasn't bad for one of my drunken ramblings. 
As I said in the OP, "With theists it stop there..... with god". It takes a scientist to look deeper and get the real picture.
Earthquakes! Cabrakan did it!!!! Oh, hang on. Tectonic movement.
Volcano! Volcan did it!!!! oh, hang on. Hot magma from beneath the Earths surface, etc.
Failed harvest! God did it, oh hang on......
A fly in my soup! Beelzebub did it!!! ..........and so on.
Throughout the ages humans have always blamed one god or another for everything, but when free thinkers started looking deeper, they realised it's all a load of poppycock.
The rational explanation is deeper than god.

OK so now I get it, took a while.
