Then why call it God? Why not call it a philosophical quantity or a magic wnad?
That is what Kant said. Even if a single causal thing may be determined by ontology or a single thing upon which all knowledge is predicated on may be determined by epistemology there is nothing to say that thing is "God", other than us already having an entity that serves that function called "God"
As the "God" of philosophy is only the human condition taken to their maximums there is no reason to call it "God" beyond the idea that man was made in "God's " image. As such man would be an imperfect representation of "God" and if made perfect would be "God" (coincidentally this is Nietzche's argument for the ubermensch)
