1. Does God love you?
No. Love is an exclusively human emotion which occurs when the happiness of one person is essential to the happiness of another. Since an omnimax Being cannot experience the subjective state of 'happy', it cannot love.
2. Does God answer prayers?
No. Answering a prayer would entail that God has changed a facet of the universe on behalf of a particular penitent. Since God is, by defintion, immutable, God is logically unable to change or to effect change.
Did God create the universe?
No. If God is perfect, then God is, of neccessity, complete (incomplete things cannot be perfect). The only defintion of completes that is coherent is something that is finished, that has no lack. One could argue, I suppose, that God and the universe are coeval, but that doesn't permit God to perform a creative act.
4. Is God both merciful and just?
No. Mercy and justice are qualities in conflict - if God evinces mercy, then God has abrogated justice, and vice versa.
5. Is God necessary?
No. There is not, and never has been, a phenomenon that, in the final analysis requires God as an explanation.
Is God afraid of anything?
Yes. Kaiser Soze.
