Either come up with a complete explanation for how a being can act without time passing or shut the fuck up, because the burden of proof is on you. I'm not just going to accept the rationalization that "oh gee, well, they're above temporality and logic."

Why won't you? It makes perfect sense. The fact that all events occur within time
is an inductive argument. It has been observed that all events occur within time. But this argument only applies to the natural world, because as far as we know, we have not made contact with the supernatural to know its laws. The supernatural is by definition not bound by time and space as it is transcedant. Once you understand that your puny argument does not even apply by the very definition of the word, you may comprehend the gravity of what is coming out your mouth.
Remember, the focus of the argument is that the supernatural must be real, not how it could be real.
