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.

Sky Daddy or his more accurate title of „Fictional Tyrant with bad Temper“

  • Random Chance
  • Cause and Effect

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

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

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".

Sky Wizard.

[-] shinigamiookamiryuu@lemm.ee 3 points 11 months ago

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".

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

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

“Divinity”. “Source”

[-] davefischer@beehaw.org 1 points 11 months ago

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").

Since I just learned the word jocular right now, my answer is Jocular.

[-] xhieron@lemmy.world 0 points 11 months ago

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.
