I dislike ever having to use the 'capital G' god in any context, and avoid it as often as possible. Find it irksome to see others using it in that way, as if such a thing deserves to be a fucking proper noun.
Outside of very obvious fiction, the concept is pointless at best, and the worst blight on humanity on the other end of the spectrum.
Time and again, I've come up with god concepts that are far beyond any conceived of by actual theists. If their sky daddies can't measure up to mine (because they claim that a god is typically 'that which no greater can be conceived') then such gods are not great, let alone good, and certainly not worthy of worship or veneration.
So let's limit god to putting it in front of 'zilla' and leave it at that.

Religions were invented to impress and dupe illiterate, superstitious stone-age peasants. So in this modern, enlightened age of information, what's your excuse? Or are you saying with all your advantages, you were still tricked as easily as those early humans?
