God has other properties, sure. But the properties that you mentioned are all identical to Gods. So we can call 'fleems' a sub category of God.
By your logic, a pile of dogpoop is a god, and a bowlingball a death star
The fool hath said in his heart, There is a God. They are corrupt, they have done abominable works, there is none that doeth good.
