That would depend on which of the 30,000+ gods known to have been 
worshipped by mankind you're talking about. Certainly some of them are

There's at least one proven-to-be-existent claimed god that one could ask.

Why are people required to comply with the "yes or no" constraint, but 
not God?

That isn't really an answer. If people would reply yes or no anyway, 
then you'll get the same answer with or without the constraint, making 
the constraint redundant.

Essentially, you're proposing to ask people and God different questions, 
and then you're remarking on the anticipated difference in the answers.

Schrödinger doesn't know if his cat is dead or alive; his ignorance doesn't, can't, alter reality. Ignorance is not a spatial dimension, as string theory would have you believe. Hallucinations are just that, hallucinations, not "alternate realities/universes", as pop science would have you believe. 

Hardly "cheap."  Untold suffering, wars, denial, mental retardation,
abused children, misappropriated funding, etc. etc.

You do realise that formatted text in Usenet marks you out as a crank, 
and many people won't go beyond seeing that the text is formatted before

The HMTL markup I post is just:

   <h2><PRE Style='Font-Family: OCR A, monospace !important;'>

It's very, very simple.

You might want to look up the word "crank" because
I don't think you're using it correctly.

Neither of which are _Usenet_.

Usenet is mainly consumed by people who still use ASCII-only newsreaders 
(personally, my Thunderbird is *capable* of more, but there are people 
in here on PINE!).

Thus, you _do not format anything_.

If you want to use ellipsis, you use three separate periods.

If you want to use an en-dash, you use two separate hyphens.

And you're gonna get plonked by more people than will ever open another 
posting of yours if you don't follow those rules *always*.

Usenet allows for it, same as email, to wit, my:

  "Content-Type: text/html".

You want something else ?  Go fuck yourself, I don't care.
