We must look thoroughly into the human history and observe that various definitions have been used by people through out the history (including the ones I provided). These definitions and conceptions can vary very significantly. Therefore, a rational mind brings all those definitions into her/his mind when (s)he wants to say "god exists" or "god does not exist".
Bold mine. This is why it is meaningless. Instead of just calling something "god" and expecting that to make it more special somehow, it's far more meaningful to tell me what it is (not just what you call it) and why you believe it. Even if it is something that I believe exists (like the universe), I might just have a more accurate word for it that actually gives it individual value (like universe). We already have a word for these things.

There's that strawman argument again. Stop that. I am not just pulling god from one culture. I am not pulling any definition of any god from anywhere. You tell me what you believe and I will give you my feedback on it no matter what it is.
I don't believe you. Get over it.
