> I am just minimalistic in the assumption
The hell you are. The God you believe in is anything but minimalistic or simple, in any of the meanings those terms are given.
> you say that as if it were a bad thing
Yeah, I know, you don't have morals or the metaethics with which to support them. That much was obvious from the first time I talked to you. This also means that you can't speak to good or bad, so that sentence was completely hollow. You are epistemically incapable of making value judgments, do you understand that?
I am "that girl" your mother warned you about...

When you minimize assumptions you end up with a broader spectrum of possibilities, so the God is quite ineffable, by being hypothetical, beyond time, space, cause, effect, numbers and out of reach of judgment by immanent beings.
But this is needed only when somebody says "if, then" in the domain of god. Besides, usually those arguments break down when we translate them to a virtual world, conceptual, vs its supernatural, the real world who conceived it.
If you OTOH believe in something (atheism included), I have no arguments against it. You build or derive or apply moral systems and do all the metaethical reasoning you want. My set of belief is irrelevant and anybody else's should, in this context.
If you're even deeper, on the experience of the divine, your experience can't unfortunately be shared easily and does not provide proof, but this is not your problem,it is everybody else's.
