W"hy should I accept that as the official truth any more than the definition of someone else?"

Obviously you will choose to believe whatever you choose to believe. I was asked to provide a definition and I gave one. I ascribe the definition I do because it is the only one that comports with and explains human experience.

I appreciate your definition, but I didn't ask for a definition. I asked what is God (deity), not what you define as one. If I ask what is the sun, and you say it's a star that is not your definition but description of what the sun really is., not what you believe or hope it might be.
