Welcome to the forum!

No, in all my time alive, I've not heard one meaningful definition of God either. The best anyone can manage is "the creator of our reality". In this case, it implies nothing special about this creator. It could be a computer programmer.

People generally can't help piling on superlatives and human attributes though.

I'll give you a meaningful definition of God, Rob.

" An abstract concept designed to aid those in need of hope with a strong dose of the warm and fuzzies."
No God, No fear.
Know God, Know fear.

How do you square your definition with all the smitey business?

Because God's followers work in profitable mysterious ways!
