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.

I imagine that a one dimensional being would say the same thing about multiple spatial dimensions.  "Your foot moving in two different directions....that's got to hurt".  Of course we know it doesn't.

If there were two time dimensions then time would be plane instead of a line.  Moving thru time would be moving thru a plane.  I can see it causing problems with causality but not inflicting physical pain.
