I see. So it is not a definition or a discussion on language you want but an emotion I associate the word with?
Perhaps to gain some kind of insight into my viewpoint? Or perhaps to make sure the discussion stays firmly out of the rational?
Whatever the reason I have no objection; caution. I feel caution when I hear the word God. God is a word I associate with vanity and indoctrination. Your next question is why.
Is it possible that there is a creator? Extremely unlikely, verging on impossible but yes. However, that is not the only claim made when one references God, is it? Otherwise everyone who made the claim would be a panthiest and the word God would not be used. No, the claim is specifically "my" creator, "my" God of "my" special book with "my" special rules.
There is no part of that which is not absurd, childish and dangerous.
