Define God. Simple request. What is a god? Simple question, simple answers. Define what a god is. This should be pinned. to the top of this forum on Existence of God(s) IMHO.
I like Jürgen Habermas definition. "It's a metaphor for our hopes and dreams".
Dan Harmon has God as a stand in for "the unknown" or rather "our hopes for how the unknowable is".
Lacan's is also good. God as an empty space to project whatever onto. So a version of Habermas. But one with space for an evil or destructive God.
I like all of these
