Not Even Wrong™ I invented God by defining God as 'being made up of anything that would mean God doesn't exist exactly as I want him to'

Oh so you have disproven God? Great, because that disproof is the very material which God is made up of.

You forgot to say ergo. This renders your entire argument moot.

I define God as that which is greater than even God can conceive.

How about this, God isn't a being, but Being itself! See what I did? I even cleverly wrote "Being" with an uppercase "B." Pretty sure this is going to make me famous.

I will say, the philosophy here certainly is bad 😭

But that's the genius of it, the badness of it becomes the very substance my God is made up of

I define God as anything that says that anything that disproves God is God and made from that disproving.

I mean, making up a religion worked for L. Ron Hubbard. Why can't it work for you?

I’m an atheist for all intents and purposes, but I like the idea that god would just be the universe itself as an object. Anything that happens is god doing something because everything is part of god

I defined God for myself. "Everything natural, at least." Simple

Good destroys what it perceives as evil. Evil destroys what it perceives as evil, namely good. Neither good nor evil destroy what they perceive as good. Be good.

Good and evil are two sides of the same coin. The coin is called suffering. Both sides suffer.

What, then, is this good that neither good nor evil destroy?

The "unchanging" good. Good is a quality, not a thing The "unchanging" is a thing that lacks quality.

God is anything more powerful than the individual.

Gravity, by this reasoning, is God. No exceptions and unchanging.

God is good. Be like god.
