God would be an unemobodied mind or consciousness. It has no "parts" or "pieces," so you wouldn't get any more simple than that I presume. This does not preclude God's thoughts and ideas- the functions of the mind- from being complex themselves.
Considering your statement that your argument was never about god's possible existence, why should the counter-arguments address them?

How about the actual reality we live in?
