I prefer to call a mind a mind, a brain a brain, an emotion an emotion, etc.Is God our mind?
Our mind answers prayers, is extraordinary, etc. It keeps us alive everyday.
This world wouldn't exist without our mind, for without our mind we wouldn't be conscious, thus we wouldn't know of this world, though it could physically exist.
Or is God in our mind?
Is God a placebo affect, in our mind?
Is God an emotion?
I don't see how the term god clarifies or adds anything to those labels. I can, however, see how adding the term god could add all sorts of misunderstandings with people who have other thoughts of what gods are. So I think I'll stick with not using it for any of those things.
