You people think MY ideas are out there? Wow.
Second, there are many premises out there where some theists/deists/pantheists believe god is no longer 'alive' or even a god any more.
This is down to a lack of imagination on your part. Imagine if you will, god is existence, he is all that exists in an endless void of nothingness, eventually he's no longer content with himself and becomes lonely. He tries to create another god to keep him company. Trying to divide himself results in its own "destruction", god from the singularity explodes in a big bang and his remains, energy that cannot be created or destroyed, form our universe today. Eventually the big crunch may one day occur when the cosmos contracts in on itself and god reforms and reconstitutes itself. It grows bored of being lonely again and tries to create another god only to suffer another explosion that forms a new universe, and so on, ad infinitum.
Heck, you want far out ideas? Some pandeists believe god intentionally broke himself up to create reality, his idea of the ultimate drama in action, and that we're all really god and won't realise that until we die.
