Can you define or establish a definition as to what GOD is? 

Feel free to reference from any philosophical/religious/scientific/etc source.

@okulele interesting. 

And can you comprehend that definition? I would really appreciate an explanation.

God is a hypothesis to support another hypothesis - the creation.

God refers to something static, a noun! 

We shouldn't talk about God. God doesn't exists. 

Godliness exists, that's a lot more beautiful then a God, a noun. 

Since we all are, and belong to this Godliness

Isn't it so, yes or no?

So in simple terms, God is a creation? 

God is creativity. Wherever and whenever creativity happens, it is always through Him.

Please mention your idea as to what GOD is before a conclusion is made.

God can't be conclusion of any logical process. God is never arrived at by reasoning.

When I grew up as a kid I was always told and taught by my religion that GOD is a creator and the fact that we would refer to God as 'father' or 'him' made me believe that we were talking about a person. But now I have become open minded and seek the true nature of GOD because saying God is a person is making God a thing, which I find dis-empowering.

The One, The Absolute.

He begets not, nor is He begotten.

None is like Him, and none is supposed to be like Him.

Nothing like a likeness of Him.

“Once maya is operating, awareness ‘assumes’ the role of Creator and "apparently" identifies with maya. Awareness in association with maya (ignorance) is then referred to as Isvara, or ‘God,’ the creator, preserver and destroyer of the objects in the dharmafield. As such it is also known as the macrocosmic mind, the causal body, or the deep-sleep state. Isvara, or maya, is a ‘limiting adjunct’ for awareness in that it causes awareness to appear as the limited world. Again, this implies a sequence of ‘events,’ which is not correct, because it infers time; we describe it so because we need to understand the distinction between the real and the apparently real, satya and mithya.”

~J. Swartz  (Vedanta)
