Taxonomy of God

[SalixIncendium]

I think this could potentially be a fun exercise. Thanks to @blü 2 for inspiring this thread.

How would you classify your perception of God in taxonomical ranking? Copy the ranking table from the OP and complete as many or as few as you like.

Domain:
Kingdom:
Phylum/Division:
Class:
Order:
Family:
Genus:
Species:

Be mindful that this is not a debate forum. There is no one correct answer (except my own ).

I do not put Allah in a category

Well, it's proving more challenging that I thought. This is as far as I got.

Domain: The Multiverse
Kingdom: The Multiverse

Here's my best guess

Domain: Eternal
Kingdom: Reality
Phylum/Division: Transcendent
Class: Benevolent
Order: Creator
Family: unknown
Genus: unknown
Species: unknown

 

[Aupmanyav]

Class: All of them
Order: All of them

Oh, that is Brahman (Advaita Hinduism, non-duality), and not God. It is even more than that.

Domain: Cosmos

[Subduction Zone]

Genus: triune

That is more of the sort of response that I was thinking of. There are quite a few "God"s out there. I might have stuck "Abrahamic" in there somewhere after monothea.. Perhaps since your Phylum/Division is almost the same as the Class you could promote panthea to class, monothea to Order and stick Abrahamic in at the Family level.

Hmm, let me give it a shot:

Kingdom: Universe
Phylum/Division: non-real imaginary beings (except for mine of course)
Class: (none, oh wait, that's me!) panthea
Order: monothea
Family: Relative Newcomers
Genus: Carbohydratata
Species: The Flying Spaghetti Monster

 

[Windwalker]

Some see God as Brahman. Not all see God as some guy in the sky. Many see God as not merely limited to or defined by that perception.

I think I get it? Mine could be:

Domain: Parashiva
Kingdom: Shiv-Shakti
Phylum/Division: Brahman
Class: Nirguna Brahman
Order: Saguna Brahman
Family: Mahadeva
Genus: Deva
Species: Shiva

Maybe? I dunno.

Even closer, better.
