God is one without the ability to pluralise,
God relies on nothing to sustain Him,
God does not Beget (use part of Him to create another - or pass on the role of God), nor was God born (necessary being),
And there is nothing exactly like God. (Nothing we can imagine is God).
And therein lies my problem. Nothing I can imagine makes any sense as god. Neither can I think of any purpose in god(s). The 99 descriptions you provided all seem to be roles for functions I'm not at all sure need an overseer. Or else they just seem obtusely contradictory like the "restrictor" and the "reliever", or, the "subduer" and the "merciful".
Would it be asking too much to request a fill-in the blank answer to my question?
If anything does _____________________ , it is God or a god.
