I have had massive issues with this too, so let me start by saying i know where you are coming from.
The conclusion i came too though was that you have to understand the context of the time the big book was written. In the 1930's USA, the bible and God was everywhere. Those that wrote the big book came from this kind of era.
In saying this i am not dismissing the big book or the writers. But i personally felt that if i do not like the language of the big book then i have to redefine the language.
So i had two options
1) Ignore the big book and find a different program.
or,
2) Redifine the word God as something that i feel comfortable with and work the program with this in mind.
I chose number 2, i hope this helps.
