Well, they could for example read the catholic encyclica, published by Pope Benedict in 2006, that's even states so in its simple title: "Deus Caritas Est" (="God is Love").
Just pointing out that in a way, even the most official church claims so. ;)

I wouldn't be able to disprove it, but it would mean the word "God" is completely meanignless. So if that's what we're calling God now, then no, I can't disprove "God". But most people (including myself) are interested in the meaningful and discernable interpretations of God. No one takes the definition you said seriously, so there's no reason to discuss them seriously. |
My personal impression is that you're rather only looking for interpretations of "God" that you can somehow "logically" disprove. You consider your own interpretation of a mystical word as the only "reasonable/meaningful" interpretation.
But even if you'd succeed, you'd still have only disproved your own, unreasonable understanding of that word (which seems based on a rather letter-by-letter understanding of selected christian texts).
