 God doesn’t make the cut? 
 I’m still struggling with that question tbh 
 Had a drug free out-of-body experience once.  I didn’t meet a god but I experienced a bliss that is limited to define with our language.  The experience had color, blackness, weightlessness, curiosity and Aw is as close as I can get with words to describe.  ✨

Extreme sadness when I was dropped back into my body, my longing for that experience to repeat has not occurred. ✨

Bitcoin and astrology came into my life after this OBE, hearing the vulnerability/courage from those such as yourself, the study of Bitcoin and the planets in their movements in relation to psyche/personality gives me a peace and hope for humanity and our existence here on earth.  There must be a Creator I surmise. ✨ 
 What is "god"? 
 God the Father Almighty, Creator of heaven and earth.
And in Jesus Christ His only Son our Lord; 

Who was conceived by the Holy Spirit, born of the Virgin Mary, suffered under Pontius Pilate, was crucified, died, and was buried; He descended into hell; the third day He rose again from the dead; He ascended into heaven, and sitteth on the right hand of God the Father Almighty; from thence He shall come to judge the living and the dead.

The Holy Spirit; the holy catholic Church; the communion of saints; the forgiveness of sins; the resurrection of the body; and life everlasting. 
 That didn't answer my question.  You just told me a story of some kind.  

What is "god"?  

I guess it's a person?  (Guessing based on your word salad).  Would love a better definition.
