A priest could be considered a divine being. Depending on what you consider divine, so could anyone else. In all seriousness, I consider my girlfriend a divine being. I consider artists to be divine beings.
The definition is not that God is
a divine being. Its that God is
the divine being. A priest, or any other person (except for one) couldn't be considered
the divine being. How about this definition...
God: The supreme divine being.
But I don't think you're looking for a definition, you could easily find that on dictionary.com. I think you're looking for a description. To describe god with objective evidence is impossible. God isn't objectively observable. People experience god from within and each person's interpretaion and description of god is different.
God isn't objectively observable. This is the where science fails.
Reminds me of the System of a Down song
Science

If you think tht nothing exists that can't be descibed scientifically then you are blindly following science just as fundamentalists blindly follow the bible.

I'm absolutely sure I've said it before, but here it is again... if anybody wants to believe in an abstract, subjective, unknowable God, then knock yourself out. However, if someone is going to say that God is an objective fact, with mountains of evidence supporting its existence, then they need to, at the very least, tell us what this objective thing is.
I agree. You can't say that god is an objective fact. I don't think he wants to be either. If he was then belief in him would be default and would be worth less. If he wanted everyone to believe because it was obvious and irrefutable then he could've just made some robots for that. I think he wanted to make people that have free will and can believe or not and that have faith in him, which makes the faith worth more or, as SoaD wrote, the most potent element of human existance
