In my opinion, there isn't one. That's the problem.
If someone says that to them God is an apple, who has the authority to say that they aren't allowed to say this?
Many people say the universe or nature is God, and that doesn't imply that God created those things.
This is the problem, as I was saying above. I'm pre-emptively atheist, but I'm a theist in respect to things that clearly exist but some person declares is a god. Since it's an imaginary concept in the first place, imagination has no particular bounds nor any overlap necessarily.
If someone does happen to be talking about a creator, I wish they'd just call it a creator. Many people have a compulsion to hand a load of awards for "best at..." over to this creator before they've even established it exists. Considering what a clusterfuck of a world we live in, I think people have really low standards.
