The word God must already have some meaning to you otherwise you wouldn't be looking to complete it's meaning.

Religion, in my opinion, is the failure of humanity to understand what "God" really is. One would think that a true understanding of the meaning of God , which I do not have, would remove any need to require the support, or approval of others.
Should the time come that I gain this understanding, I doubt I will have the inclination to convert anyone to my way of understanding it.
To me, right now, god is.
That which is.
That which I would like to become.
That level of understanding I will never achieve, in this life
The above is my previous post in this thread.....pretty much answers the bulk of your questions. However, you may have misunderstood what I meant by "God is only a word". I was being literal. As in the actual use of letters to form a word, like gizmo. If you really want a simple definition.....here you go:
God- The term used to name a creator entity, or that which is Omnipotent.
