I think that there are fundamental distinctions between how different people conceive of god and that if a theist finds him/herself on the appropriate side of this distinction, certain common criticisms of theism become irrelevant. It's not just they don't appeal to the faithful, it's that they cease to mean anything. Which isn't to say that these common criticisms can't be useful and thought provoking...
The question of whether god created everything is irrelevant if god is everything.
