Of course you can argue that god is not part of our universe, but exist in a larger universe. But that still requires it to be part of space and time, just not the same one we share.

As far as being part of multiple time dimensions, that seems painful. How would you feel if your toes aged faster than the rest of your foot?

I can't fathom what existing multiple time dimensions would be like from a human perspective.  It is not logically impossible though and can be coherently describe with math.  So it is certainly not out of the question or whimsical thinking.

I do believe in God but with that being said, I do find many theistic positions to be untenable.  The position that God is outside of reality for instance. Intellect outside reality is nonsensical.  Intelligence is about knowing, understanding, navigating, a reality.  Intellect cannot exist outside a reality. God cannot exist outside a reality.  However God can be outside our sub reality.

A single being existing in multiple time dimensions is a contradiction. Time is a measure of change of states. So someone changing at two (or more) different rates doesn't make sense unless different body parts are changing at different rates. Hence, that would probably hurt.
