You wish me to give you my thoughts on a/the word 'Deity'?
Okay then.
It's an anthropomorphised 'Meme' that's out grown or, perhaps, 'Escaped' its use as part of a toolset for people without writing to both remember things and pass down such knowlede to younger minds.
Over time the rhetorical meme tool changed in its use and function in the language and the societies in which it was used.
Becoming more and more an explanation of 'Why' something mysterious/untoward/etc happened instead of being connected to the stored information of events that had happened.
How do I use the word? Simply as a piece of rhetoric when with freinds when we gather to share pastimes or as humour such as 'May his noodly appendage comfort you with its touch. Ramen'.
Hope that helps.
Your turn.
I think god is a mixture of anthropomorphism of concepts, such as love, morality etc, mixed with an attempt to explain stuff without having to really think about them.
That is my definition of god.
You can fix ignorance, you can't fix stupid.
