The question "What is God" assumes that there are attributes which can be abstracted and separated from His nature. The question should be "Who is God?" or "What is God's identity?"
It is like asking the question "What is "FadingW" as a concept?" It is a category error - you are not a concept, but a Person.
I tried to remove my kudos but couldn't (something wrong with my computer?)..
Where I disagree with your post:
God is a concept unless you have evidence otherwise..
Where I agree with your post:
However, the concept is best queried in terms of "who" for religious people because that is how the concept is formed in their minds..
