I see your god as just one mental construct among thousands. In my worldview, your pretend friend is no more real and no more important than any other deity, including deities that appear only in works of modern fiction. (waves to Lunitari, Offler and Frith)
Your opinion really doesn't matter, that IS how the word God is defined.
http://www.dictionary.com/browse/object
Quote:Definition of god*emphasis mine*
1 capitalized :the supreme or ultimate reality: such as
a :the Being perfect in power, wisdom, and goodness who is worshipped as creator and ruler of the universe
b Christian Science :the incorporeal divine Principle ruling over all as eternal Spirit :infinite Mind
2 :a being or object believed to have more than natural attributes and powers and to require human worship; specifically :one controlling a particular aspect or part of reality
- Greek gods of love and war
Note all other gods are listed under the second definition.

Thor is a 'god' not 'God', understand?
No, because there is no difference. Whatever god is being worshipped, the followers capitalize theirs and lower-case everyone elses.
see above

just because you say so doesn't mean it didn't happen...
