I'd say the nature of this forum produces a range of opinions. The mean would fall somewhere between:
1. The one and true God as revealed by the Christian scriptures with absolutely NO exceptions
and
2. "dog" spelled backwards.

Excellent question. A complaint of mine that you have stated so well.
Of course Yahoo Answers has no official definition; and all of us who come here have our personal definitions based on beliefs, opinions, perceptions, experience, various holy books and dictionary editions, etc.,etc., etc.
For the above reasons there are as many definitions of God are there are participants on this forum.
My answer to your most excellent question is this: There is no official definition of God on Yahoo Answers. Further there is not even an accepted definition for the purpose any logical debate.
The answers given to your question point up the solid fact that there is little or no agreement on how the word God is defined.
Maybe we should all agree to a "Daily definition of God or G-d;" since even editions of Webster's dictionary do not agree with each other.

Yahoo Answers is not a dictionary so they'd have official definitions, pal.

I doubt we'll agree on one.
I like Henry Nelson Wieman's: God is the process of creative interchange.
Or Whitehead's: God is the ground of possibility, eternally and appetitively envisaging possibilities, which finite beings apprehend as a lure for their actualization.
Or Tillich's: God is Being-Itself.
I don't dig the whole superman in the sky thing, though.

Could you at least come up with a valid question? Of course Yahoo Answers doesn't have an official position on God, or whether He exists. Get a clue--your questions suck.

My definition would be someone with an amazing mind that can create an entire world for us after ours is dying, only smaller. Then we hop in the shrinker they designed and we built and shrink ourselves to go live in it. They can read minds, understand why there must be good and evil, and help make dreams come true.
Sounds ridiculous doesn't it? I assure you that's much closer to the truth than anything else.
