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

Excuse for horrible actions.

Not what I was looking for, but I did chuckle. Would probably look good on a t-shirt.

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

"The Blue-balled Anti-masturbator" and "The Great All-loving F*ggot-hater"

Edit: the instance removed the hate speech (which I was simply quoting and don't condone) so I censored it

al-AαΈ₯ad ("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").

Haha that's very concrete and abstract at the same time.

Lol that’s what I was going for

It's been a while, but I think Max Barry came up with Global Unified Deity in Jennifer Government (great book, by the way)

[–] 667@kbin.social 3 points 1 year ago

Sky Wizard.

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".
