God in One Sentence

I think this is the right board to ask this question, because I'm interested in seeing a comparison of beliefs about God that people have.

If you only had one sentence to write, how would you define God?

The one who is known to be responsible for that we see all around us.

If you only had one sentence to write, how would you define God?

Pfft, I can do it in a single word.

Reality.

It's defining reality that's complicated. To some people.

There are other words I could use too. Better words that are more sensitive to religious diversity. In that spirit, the word I would pick is "sacred."

Spoiler: Time

When we refer to a certain 'Time' we use the term to refer to a particular state of the matter and energy that forms all of existence. However matter and energy within existence is not static, it changes; for this reason, the state of existence can be categorised as dynamic. It is important to note that a dynamic state of existence indicates that preceding states no longer exist (because the matter and energy is now conforming to a different configuration or state), therefore there is only one extant state of existence; the now. We ascribe a unique 'temporal' reference to distinguish a specific configuration of existence formed by the extant state from other configurations.

We note the change in existence as the extant state alters to be the progression of 'time'; any conceived 'halting' of these alterations to identify the extant state produces a logical representation of its configuration which can be ascribed a unique 'temporal' reference to indicate it's relation relative to any other 'temporal' references given that change is occuring within the single extant state. What we call different 'times' are merely different representations of the extant state of existence, the unique reference we ascribe them is a relative indication of that logical temporal state compared to other logical temporal states.

'Time' is thus the term given to the progression of change within the state of existence.

If god is part of our existence, it is within the time of our existence. However perhaps god is not part of our existence, if so it need not be within the time of our existence, but that would not mean that it is not within time relative to the scope of it's own existence as that would mean it is without the capacity to change - timelessness would render it static. To claim god as timeless or changeless is to claim god is dead; to claim god as being outside of OUR time is an entirely different matter.
