The Million Dollar Question

[Fidel_Castronaut]

There is no singular definition of a 'god' though. That's the point. FWIW the OP only asked what a god 'is', of which a definition of attributes would only be part of it.

There is no singular definition because there is no singular belief. There are billions of believers who believe in an entirely different version of a god. They might belong to the same church, the same congregation. They might all have a picture given to them of a god, or given a definitive list of attributes. It doesn't matter, their beliefs surrounding that god will be different.

No definition can encompass that. Chad said 'object of devotion'. I'll go with that as it seems true.

Anyone can devote anything to anything. Anything in that instance can be a god.

You said "any supreme being that created the universe would fit the definition of being a god".

Why? According to who? You? What about people, theists, who disagree with you? Does creating a universe qualify you to be a god? Why? And how do you know?

You said too that there is a correct definition of a god. But I haven't seen one conducive to me reaching that conclusion. I don't think equating the definition of a square, or an integer, two very real and arguably tangible concepts, can be equated to that of a 'god', which I argue is the antithesis.

I still stick with my point; a god is whatever a believer wants it to be.

Then I ask, what is supreme being.

No idea.
