How's this for a definition of GOD?

A dis--embodied, transcendent, ultra-dimensional, infinite being, beyond time and space, who possesses all the characteristics of perfection beyond anything that the mind can conceive of.

Here's another thought for someone to think about:

If anything now exists, then something must be "eternal", or something "not eternal" must have emerged from nothing.

I think it's good, but certainly more can be added to it. God's also immanent in that He interacts with everything else outside His being, viz., His creation. He's also Triune, eternally existing in 3 Persons.

As for your variation of the Principle of Sufficient Reason, atheists can either agree that the universe itself is eternal or that it popped into existence out of nothing. Of course I think the evidence doesn't back this up and the evidence points to the eternal Creator.
