I don't need the concept of God except as a convenient language tag. Yes, the freight of that word means that the definition will be nibbled to death by ducks. I am not overly concerned with "defining", and I do find the God word much more succinct and suited to my personal aesthetic than "question mark". I could call it the Great Chord, the Sussurus of Completion, many things. God is good enough.
Works for me
