Get to work, you theoretical physicists!
Being a composition of multiple "particles," god would observe itself and collapse its own wave function.
Nonetheless, I find the particle interpretations of quantum theory to be lacking. Insisting on the reality of particles creates seriously bizarre problems and almost irresolvable paradoxes. Simply treating particles as approximations to the deeper reality of quantum fields being the real thing, or in the case of non-relativistic quantum mechanics, treating the wave function as the real object and not the particle, gets rid of all the paradoxes and prevents all the problems from happening in the first place. It even solves the unitarity/non-unitarity problem arising from observations of the state of a system. The only "problem" it appears to have is that things like the Schroedinger equation become harder to derive, requiring more sophisticated techniques like Fourier transforms, rather than simpler techniques like operator substitutions.
