Ahoy!
Robvalue : You're living an illusion
Even if God is just a word, it is nevertheless real... Words are real : they are part of reality. They are spoken and sound is real. They are understood (or not) and that's a real phenomenon. They are written and that's a part of reality. You can't leave reality. When we have a discussion about dragons or the tooth fairy, we're not leaving reality.
Now, of course, depending on your beliefs, you could say God or dragons are not real in the same way that you are real... But there's more than "real" and "not real"... There are degrees of "reality"...
And if you think we should remove words that don't reflect reality... let's scrap "zero"... cause you can't prove the existence of zero. Let's forget about the void too... cause there's no proof whatsoever that the void might exist... In between an electron and the proton, there's no void : there are tensions, forces, and those are real...
This said, you pointed out an interesting property of the word "God" : people can say whatever they want about it. So, it is the word that's most revealing our free will and it proves we do not all react the same way about the same stimulus... This word has been used more than any other one to impose things on others, even though it is the word that is the most liberating by definition. It's a word none can control and that's a very good aspect of that word. There's hope in "reality"...
