I voted just like Vixene: E2, R5, P18.

E2:  Culturally, God is something I'd rather we didn't have and don't need.
R5:  Physically, there could be somewhere an un-caused cause. So R5 is the best choice in the group tho it misses the possibility that reality could be causally cyclic.
P18: Mentally, God is like an annoying advertising jingle you can't get out of your head.  A tiresome and largely useless self perpetuating pattern.
So how, exactly, does God know that She's NOT a brain in a vat? Huh
