What abstract names do you have for God? - Lemmy

Jocular ones are welcome too (and no doubt inevitable), but I’m looking more for “sensible” ones. Some examples: * Unmoved Mover * Great Universal Mind * Undifferentiated Aesthetic Continuum * Ground Of Being

This seems like a meta-question. Even “God”, “Jehovah” and “Allah” are abstract names.
Are “God”, “Jehovah” or “Allah” anything like the examples I provided?
Excuse for horrible actions.
Not what I was looking for, but I did chuckle. Would probably look good on a t-shirt.

Ah yes, The Potter too.
Since I just learned the word jocular right now, my answer is Jocular.

If you’re talking specifically about the Jewish deity, I generally use “Yahweh”. As that is the name ascribed to him in Jewish mythology. If you’re speaking of a more general deity, I tend to use “RNG”. This being the acronym for the “Random Number God”.
Why “number”?
“RNGesus” is the supreme deity controlling random number generators. Whether loot drops in online games, or jackpots at casinos, RNGesus determines whether you win or lose. Apostates say he’s just rolling the dice, but the faithful know it’s all a part of his master plan.
Aha. When tech geeks meet theology. I like it!
Ahem, HaShem.

Gesundheit.

Or, if you prefer: “Yahweh bless you.”

Hypothetical higher power
Haha that’s very concrete and abstract at the same time.
Lol that’s what I was going for

Hey you sass that hoopy, atlasraven31, there's a frood who really knows where his towel is.
Flying Spaghetti Monster.
It’s not abstract at all, but my favorite is the Living God. It’s an old one (Elohim khayyim), but I strongly empathize with the sentiment: if there is a God, God must be alive. She must be able to do things–God must have volition. He isn’t just a product of natural order (e.g., the Sun). He might be a prick sometimes, but His actions are better than chance. If your god is a coin toss, your god may as well be a coin toss. Whichever God demonstrates Her existence is the real One. Everything else is make-believe at best, a long con at worst.
Yes, I don’t mind “Living God” as long as it remains abstract and not attached to whatever religious organisation.

I guess we can also add Haruhi Suzumiya to that, or Kyon if you go reeeeaaallly deep into the internet

Sky Daddy or his more accurate title of „Fictional Tyrant with bad Temper“
It's been a while, but I think Max Barry came up with Global Unified Deity in Jennifer Government (great book, by the way)

  • Cause and Effect

Depending on the situation I guess.
I think, otherwise, the only time I invoke a higher power is when swear :)

al-Aḥad (“The One”) is nice. It’s one of the 99 names of God given in the Qur-an. Coincidently, it’s close to my younger cat’s nickname: “One” (short for “Little One”).

I mean, I do technically feel all of these names implied when talking about God, but none of them I “call” God. I guess “supreme being” would do it, I use that often even in church. I’m surprised your list doesn’t have the likes of “grand unified theory”, “the great white hole”, “the sun”, “sol invictus”, “the man behind the pixels”, “time incarnate”, or “Morgan Freeman”.

I like Bo Burnham’s titles (both from the song Rant):

“The Blue-balled Anti-masturbator” and “The Great All-loving removed-hater”
