There is a view that god isn't even worth discussing until theists can provide one agreed on definition; theological noncognitivism.

I'm more focused on the idea that we do have a set of definitions for the word god. Theological noncognitivism though, is totally right in that there are people who will make up all kinds of nutty definitions for that word. I think we have a pretty good set of defs by now, and anyone who worships/reveres something else is doing that to something else, not a god, even if they want to call it one, such as love=god babblings.
I'm really shitty at giving kudos and rep. That's because I would be inconsistent in remembering to do them, and also I don't really want it to show if any favouritism is happening. Even worse would be inconsistencies causing false favouritisms to show. So, fuck it. Just assume that I've given you some good rep and a number of kudos, and everyone should be happy...
