Nutella isn't great either:

Ok, fellow AF atheists:  I think trying to answer this might be a real bone-headed move, and if this devolves into muck and mire (worse than chunky PB&J) feel free to throw things at me.

So, JBrentonK, what EXACTLY is it that you want??  People have been answering your OP honestly.  People have been giving you their associations with the word "god".  And you reject them.   What are you asking for, then?   The history?  There have been thousands upon thousands of terms for "deity", across cultures, the meanings are varied and the topics too broad to address in a short forum answer.  Are you asking for a definition?  The internet has a lot of free dictionaries.  Are you asking for an emotional response? -- You got those too, the most accurate being "meh - no response".  How can I have an emotional response about something that I don't believe exists?   I don't get emotional over the tooth fairy or the easter bunny either.

I like the definition of "tool".  -- An imaginary construct that serves the purpose of either 1) an attempt to explain the unknown, or 2) a means for gaining power and control over others.

He's just grumpy because his cunning plan to show that we're all angry at God has been usurped by a conversation about the effectiveness of using crunchy peanut butter as a personal lubricant.

Eww...

I like this talk... among talking about "how to tell you're an atheist" and other things, he at one point talks about how the concept of "god" has often become so meaningless that he's reduced to a concept and nothing more.

But how many kudos have you given? I don't know. I have no idea

As I said it's your word, you tell us what you think it means.
