You say 'all is mind' or mind derived and give no further explanation of what is mind or how it produces matter.
You say 'God' to explain why you are not fully in conscious control of everything.
Bah, I say 'magic' and I win by one assumption to two.
There is no reason to prefer a system with the fewest axioms when any of the axioms aren't fully defined and understood. You can hide more than one universe in a God.
Because you admit no understanding of the workings of 'mind' you cannot defend against the following hypotheticals:
a) Analogous your autonomic nervous system, your mind is in control of the entirety of reality, but not aware of this. Hence, no separate conscious God.
b) The mind of God is completely different from your mind. So different that, in all observables, the mind of God is identical with matter: still not overtly conscious but quite compatible with materialism.

So how, exactly, does God know that She's NOT a brain in a vat?
