I was not necessarily talking in terms of putting into a box all the qualifiers for the definition of God. It was more about relating several concepts rolled up into one core theme.
No matter if you subscribe to the philosophical concept of "maximal greatness," or a thing (for lack of a better word) absolutely perfect and splendid to the point of awe that nothing greater is remotely conceivable. Think the older ideas from polytheism and early undefined principles that simply resonate with the idea of perfection. Perhaps not really even defined but illustrated about in early art, early sculpting, etc. But the base idea was there in "not of this world," we later suggest "not of this universe."
Or, if you subscribe to the idea of a maximally perfect person who is responsible for life (the role of the creator.) A graduation of the above idea but this time with some added concepts such as we were not created to be perfect but our creator is perfect. The responsible party for whom gave us the responsibility of accepting or rejecting that grace originating with an old white haired guy sitting in the dark then creating all we see as our reality. The terms themselves took time to formulate, but the ideas were further made relevant in text showing something omnipresent, omniscient, and omnipotent that still suggest "not of this world" and "not of this universe." And consequently and even accidentally furthering the ideas of crossing realities from the realm of deity to ours.
Or, even if you subscribe to the idea of another reality without common attributes to our reality. Going the more systems of process (science) route. The idea that even if we establish a set of core principles and scientific laws for our own universe that there is no real direct proven method to apply them outside of our universe. Still a notion of something here and something beyond. A barrier some suggest is a matter of life, others suggest is a matter of energy, others even suggest a matter of consciousness.
No matter which or how many you really consider, through systems of belief or systems of process, there is a stopping point in which anything beyond that point is generally speaking some form of speculation based on principles of belief or principles of science. Not just in how you define God or Gods, but define anything outside of our reality. With the pivot point being the truths to being in this reality, as we have defined them.
That makes this rather open ended but the pure basis point for all these discussions all boil down to the exact same thing, what is on the other side. Define from there. And all the sister conversations on how to pass from one to the other all come down to explanations from religion (as in purpose) or explanations from science (as in energy) centering on that same issue. What is on the other side? The easiest way to define it is "whatever is not of this universe." Everything else, subject to debate. Probably mostly based on what one believes over knows.
