    Which is just butchery of the language in order to confuse the argument. A god has to be sentient to be a god, even if you are talking about gods, there is the requirement of sentience.

    Particularly if you are talking about God, as in the Judao-Christian figure. God, is a character in a book with a personality.

    If you are going to refer to everything, well that is the universe. There are perfectly good words for everything, all, and the whole, there is no need to try and tie the concept to God.
