What is god?

[Zhalentine]

Often times a familiar question is posed to me and other people. It is a question with no definitive answer, what is god? The most common depiction of god is that of deists, being the belief that "god" is the omnipotent creator of the universe as we know it to exist. To me though "god" or "godliness" is a representation of the good of humanity. For example someone who beats and molests their daughter is evil but the person who has the courage to step into that situation and do something about it, that is god. The person who gives five dollars to a crack addict knowing they would spend it on crack just because ge knows that crack addict could murder or rob someone for that five dollars. In my eyes god is a human representation of the good and compassion in men. I was just extremely bored and deciding to post some thoughts while I had nothing to do. I apologize for any misspellings or gramatical errors as this was done from my phone.
Please post your thoughts on this topic.

I'm a little confused. You're and atheist and do not believe in god(s), yet in your post you admit that you define god as "the person who has the courage to step into that situation and do something about it." You clearly believe in this "god". Perhaps you really don't define god this way but you're just trying to start conversation, or you mislabel yourself as an atheist. I realize the last sentence seems like I'm being an asshole, but please read this as me being curious and not trying to be a dick.

edit: I guess I should give my insight on what god is. When I think of god I think of the biblical god, most likely because I was raised in a Christian home and that's what god was defined as. My definition of god is any supreme being that is worshipped by people. I see no reason to have god being defined as people doing good. Why does that have to have a special name and be called god?
