Any chance this thread is going to move beyond loud conjecture and personal hobby horses? I'll take "No" for $20.
What is God?
The necessary, non-contingent, personal, a-priori creator.
Necessary – not possible to not exist. If anything exists, God exists.
Non-contingent – God’s being and prerogative are not submitted to any other. God acts without constraint, and exist without prior cause.
Personal – possessing all of the necessary features of personhood, including reason, will, and agency. Not an impersonal force, but a rational agent.
A-priori Creator – God existed prior to any first-event, and was the sufficient cause of the first event.
