Let us try to agree on some definition of God. Most people, after and
before Christ agrees on this: it is the origin of everything, it is
what everything proceeds of, unnameable and transcendent, that is
beyond us.
Are you OK, with it. Don't hesitate to improve it.
No, I'm not "OK" with it because it is a misleading appropriation of a
common word that is used to denote /*a superpowerful and knowledgable
person*/ who not only created everything, but /*cares about human
beings*/ and /*demands certain conduct*/ and /*who acts in the world
*/in response to prayer. Your definition doesn't even rise to the level
of a deist god. Even a deist god is supposed to care about human conduct.
