If so, are we just playing with words?

You're right, we ARE just playing with words. The "does God exist" debate is just an endless exersize in semantic futility. The question "does God exist" possesses the same intellectual and philosophical value as "what color is Thursday?". Both questions are nonsensical and therefore cannot yield meaningful results.
To even posit that, “A ‘God’ might exist, however improbable” would be to consider the term as meaningful from this particular approach – a view that shall be considered here as a false assumption.

Yeah, pretty much.
"Deity exists"
To falsify this, we would need to be able to arrange an area with deity and an area without deity. If a deity existed, we could not arrange an area without it. If a deity did not exist, we could not arrange an area with it.
However, we can prove or disprove the existence of SPECIFIC deities based on the holy texts that describe them. Yahweh, for example, is primarily described in the Torah, and the Torah proves Yahweh does not exist. So, Judaism, Christianity, and Islam are false.

People here say you have to see it and touch it. But with wind you can only feel it. You can't see it or touch it Accept for in the tree's and in the leaves. That is why no matter how much proof people try to give it's ALL worthless because it won't matter, because you will still not believe. It is because it takes faith to believe that God exist's.

Allah does not require proof for his existence,
believe in him that he exists really so all the destinations will be easy for you.
Because Belief and religion can not be proofed but it is admitted and obeyed.
more over we the human think this is a play of words , but just a belief once can satisfy and can show the exact way one require.
dis believer is ever unsatisfied.
i hope you got my point.

We can't prove anything. We can't even prove the sun will come over the horizon tomorrow. So I would say that is not the goal to prove either way. Just to convince.

Don't need to. God does not seek people demand proof that he exist, he seeks people whose hearts are truly seeking him.
Debating people who are not seeking is just an interesting way to pass the time.

's simple to prove there isn't a god as you can't prove there is a god than the pure silliness of there being a god is proof in itself.

At last a statement of philosophical fact on this board. But we should be aware that certain arguments are more tenable than others. Weak atheism is the default position.
