“​I would like to insist, however, that we should not define God in some completely different way that doesn’t even refer to a conscious being. For instance, please don’t say that God is love, or God is nature, or God is goodness in general. Those statements are category errors or abuses of language. If I define “God” to refer to my couch, then we can easily prove that “God exists”, but this definition would be unhelpful, because it bears no relation to how the word “God” is normally understood, it doesn’t help to illuminate anything, and it only serves to sow confusion. Similar problems beset the attempts to define God as love, nature, goodness, etc.”
