There's no compelling necessity to even postulate the existence of magical entities so let's not.
Drop it into the bin and move on to something constructive.

@newjaninev2 Seems maybe what the OP is trying to do is redefine "god" such that if we use the word "god" it means "god" exists in some sense.
Just like if we use the word "fairy" or "elf" or "ghost" then all these things also exist -- as items in the dictionary.
It's just sophistry and deceptive wordplay; doesn't help anyone. Maybe it's part of a bait & switch scheme: get people to agree that "god" exists as an entry in the dictionary, and then pretend they agree that an all powerful creator & intercessor exists.
