Assuming it is very probably true that man invented the concept of God, would reinvention and redefinition of the God concept be benificial to the world today and for the future?
What abilities & limitations would "the new God" have? Your views...?
Please keep your views on this question focused toward its positive spirit, according to the constructive nature under which it has been written. We all have plenty of other opportunities to answer questions in negative ways... So once again, please, just ignore this question if you can't think "outside the box" of what has already been said a thousand times.

I believe it's high time for the eradication of the god concept.

The 'invented' concept of God took a long time to come about is is fine for this world at this time. It is God who gave humans the ability to 'invent' meaning. This new God concept would have little influence in this world, working with what we have is the best option, getting rid of hypocrisy in religion is the best way forward. Christianity has been attemping this for a few 100 years now. Other religions are in this process also I hope.

Redefine the concept of God? That's what the Christian Church has been doing for over two thousand years. Whenever something falls apart in their beliefs, they just work around it, make up a new story and go back to blissful ignorance.

NOPE, it's not time nor will it ever be.
We live on a planet teeming with life. Plant life with approximately 250,000 species. Animal life with over a million species. Scientist are learning just how complex life is. So complex that it requires design. The evidence of design requires a designer. Scientists are also learning the conditions for life, just how perfect conditions here on planet Earth are to support all this life.
To think, people believe this all happened by chance. Yes the odds are 1 in 1(with a billion trillion zeros behind it). Yes it is a belief by many that this all just happened by chance. That belief takes a greater faith than believing in a Creator. A virtual impossibility is an impossibility.

Well, I believe that the only God is the sum total of everything, and as the world was made from the pure energy in the Big Bang, God is energy. It connects us. That's all i need to believe and all I have felt spiritually. And it fits in with science.
Spinoza says it better than I could, however. And Einstein agreed with this model of God (well - strictly speaking he agreed with it above any other kind of God, not necessarily completely though.)

Um yea I like my God just the way he is. Although I would have a new God that proves himself a bit more, like comes down as a big firey scary guy routinly to prove that he's there...it would make the job of proving my God actually exists just a little bit easier....other than that I'm pretty much good. Oh yea and if he could give me like a million dollar

Are you advocating that every people group, every clan, every remote village, throughout history and throughout the world invented the concept of God? Then, have you considered that since all people groups have a concept of God, that perhaps such belief is innate? That perhaps we all have the archetype of God within?
Besides, you cannot improve on God's self-revelation. You keep trying but keep coming up short. You keep coming up short because your elevator got stuck in the lower levels somewhere. There is no adequate substitute for the God of revelation. And, you're certainly not the one who can give one to us!

You can't redefine a real thing. There is only one God and He's just right.
