If God is Subject then what?

Some people want their God to be objective when it actually isn't, so the debate is usually after that erroneous train of thought that their God is somehow active in the waking world instead of residing within the realm of one's mind and imagination.

Well, first how he/she/it/they (their pronouns?) are subject or object, secondly what is to be debated and how it might be proven. Maybe. I don't know. It seems to me we overcomplicate it.

I suppose it could be interpreted in a variety of ways. I take it to mean is God in the eye of the beholder or one fixed definition or concept we have to agree upon. If subjective there are gods, but also to each individual the God. If objective one God above all or one God concept which serves as a paradigm, a model if you wish, for all. I think both are true. There is one God above all, God almighty, Jehovah. But there are countless other gods since a god can be anyone or anything mighty/venerated. Worshipped. As Paul said at 1 Corinthians 8:5-6 (ESV): " For although there may be so-called gods in heaven or on earth—as indeed there are many “gods” and many “lords” yet for us there is one God, the Father, from whom are all things and for whom we exist, and one Lord, Jesus Christ, through whom are all things and through whom we exist."
