What abstract names do you have for God? (lemmy.ml)

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

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".
