But "god" appears to have no boundaries at all to its definition. People said the sun "is God". Some people say the universe/nature "is God". Some people say humans are gods.
It can mean anything, so really it means nothing. I have no idea what a random person may mean by "God" until they tell me. And even then not many people are able to tell me what they think it means in a way that makes any sense at all.
I can imagine Morgan Freeman on a cloud. Maybe that's what theists are thinking too. But unless they actually say as much instead of using evasive language, I have no idea what they're actually trying to describe. "Something powerful" is about as close as I can usually get to understand what they mean.
