My two cents:
Definitions are not just ambiguous for God-concepts. Other words are ambiguous too. In fact, the ambiguity of words is a part of their functionality, so they can be applied to a range of things with a family resemblance.
So while I respect the ignostic position, I disagree with it. If you want to get picky, you can discuss the theistic, deistic, pantheistic, and other God-concepts separately, since their definitions vary with the concepts.
From my point of view, since all God-concepts have critical failings, all can be dismissed as highly improbable but for different reasons.
My bottom line is that all God-concepts require consciousness and willfulness, and usually some supernatural or super-powerful attributes.
