The word is ill-defined and probably undefinable. It raises no feelings in me whatsoever.

Where's the OP gone!
C'mon man, we were just joking!

OK, God is my skydaddy! You happy now!
He like to watch when I do naughty stuff to my thingy!
This part's my favourite: He like to just watch while millions of innocent starving children die of starvation and disease!
He's a wacky God isn't he! What a man!
No God, No fear.
Know God, Know fear.

The word, and the concept itself, don't make me feel anything.
Feel free to send me a private message.

Like all words, it really depends on the context. Like all words, it is a thing that humans made up and defined.


In general, it's a word that describes one or more fictional, supernatural beings that at one time or another have been said to be responsible for creating and/or governing existence.


Beyond that, God typically devolves into some nebulous "higher power" or "supreme consciousness" that hides in the parts of science and rhetoric that can't be proven/disproven and/or haven't been discovered yet. It hovers between being an evasive linguistic device and a misplaced burden of proof built on an argument from ignorance, aka "The God of the Gaps."
Verbatim from the mouth of Jesus (retranslated from a retranslation of a copy of a copy):

"Do not judge, or you too will be judged. For in the same way you judge others, you too will be judged, and with the measure you use, it will be measured to you. How can you see your brother's head up his ass when your own vision is darkened by your head being even further up your ass? How can you say to your brother, 'Get your head out of your ass,' when all the time your head is up your own ass? You hypocrite! First take your head out of your own ass, and then you will see clearly who has his head up his ass and who doesn't." Matthew 7:1-5 (also Luke 6: 41-42)

It's a word like any other it just happens to be a word that refers to bullshit that doesn't exist.

It's a valid concept, One only vaild if you use FSM as the definition, Everything else is just rubbish.

Why is Spiderman a word?
