Okay, fine. Give me a definition of God that isn't supernatural, and prove it exists, and give me a good reason to call it "God".
And anyway, even Jesus knew that god wasn't up in the sky somewhere:
"If those who lead you say, "Behold!..the kingdom of god is in the skies," then the birds will precede you. If they say that it is in the sea, then the fish will precede you. Rather, it is within you, and it is outside you." (The Gospel of Thomas)
The Jesus myth is loaded with allusions to the idea that God is "in the sky" somewhere. What the heck was that whole Ascension thing about then? Jesus taking a trip to the Moon to chill for 3 days?

I think Jesus means to say here that God's powers extend over everything, not just his heavenly realm.
