I usually declare him in the class of complex imaginaries.

In the US, one might define God as currency (or is it the other way around?)

Is your faith so weak and your god so powerless
that, without government endorsement of your
religion, all hell will break loose?

I've tended to see God as a boolean, actually.
False by default.

How about god = the square root of minus 2. Both irrational and
imaginary.

How about the square root of minus pi. That would be irrational,
imaginary and transcendental.

One small problem: the square root of -2 can be factored, giving a real
component (2 times the square root of negative 1.) God has no real
component.

I prefer to think of God as an imaginary, myself.

I'd rather label it as the square of -2: Imaginary.

Thinking about that sparked of this:
If God does not exist then God can't be the root of an algebraic
equation. So, by definition, God must be transcendental. But if
God is transcendental then God must exist.
Should I post that to one of the theist groups?

A transcendental is a number that cannot be the root of a
polynomial equation with *integer coefficients*. But just saying that
god is not the root of an equation with integer coefficients does not
establish that he exists. If he doesn't exist then he is not the root of
an any equations, integer or otherwise. Bottom line, the transcendental
number still has to exist first.
But if
God is transcendental then God must exist.

Hopefully even theists could see the flaw here.

Nonsense. Everyone knows God is irrational!
