Not sure where you come up with the notion that a God who transcends time is the same thing as a God stuck in one point in time- or a God without time - and yet you do. You come at this as if you understand time totally, and a God who has a different relationship than you necessarily has a subordinate position with regard to time than you.

That is absurd, and not at all the point. You are stuck on a template. Moreover, to call this superstition or blind faith - when it is based in the highest of quantam physics - and to call it ego - when it is the total opposite of that - proves only that you are coming to this with a chip on your shoulder.

Atheism is blind faith. You have faith that man was created by a process that would be the math equivalent of a tornado ripping through a junk yard and leaving a fully assembled 747 in its wake, complete with first class wine and meals.

Go ahead, all aboard that train......

It is impossible to have distinct events not fall into simultaneity without Time.

Transcendent or not, any resolution of the problem not involving Time becomes an absurdity. If you say your god can do it, it is the equivalent of claiming that your god can do evil, or make square-shaped circles. The point is that not even your god can be outside Time and order sequential events because sequence demands Time to define it. Simply put, there are some things even your god cannot do (do you disagree?).

The ego and arrogance I referred to was not what you later highlighted, but rather, your behaviour. You use choice words to label me, and then buy yourself guilt insurance by saying you’ll “pray” for me. If you have not yet completely lost / sacrificed your capacity to introspect your own behaviour to the idols of lazy dogma, you will realise it.
