So yes...my God could very well exist outside the observable universe but He could not exist or ever exist outside of reality.
Then what created the reality we experience? After all it must have a cause right? If everything in reality has a cause, what caused god?
Dear Mr.wizard
this is the line of thinking that leads to the conclusion God must be infinite.
for if reality has a creator, and you call that starting point God,
and if there is something that created that, then that becomes the starting point God,
etc. etc. etc. So this goes on to infinity.
this is consistent with the viewpoint that God/creation has no beginning
or no end, and has always been self-existent eternally.
