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?
