Who is God? Jesus, of course. The Christ, the promised Messiah, Emmanuel. The Alpha and the Omega.

Dwar Ev ceremoniously soldered the final connection with gold. The eyes of a dozen television cameras watched him and the subether bore through the universe a dozen pictures of what he was doing.

He straightened and nodded to Dwar Reyn, then moved to a position beside the switch that would complete the contact when he threw it. The switch that would connect, all at once, all of the monster computing machines of all the populated planets in the universe--ninety-six billion planets--into the supercircuit that would connect them all into the one supercalculator, one cybernetics machine that would combine all the knowledge of all the galaxies.

Dwar Reyn spoke briefly to the watching and listening trillions. Then, after a moment's silence, he said, "Now, Dwar Ev."

Dwar Ev threw the switch. There was a mighty hum, the surge of power from ninety-six billion planets. Lights flashed and quieted along the miles-long panel.

Dwar Ev stepped back and drew a deep breath. "The honor of asking the first question is yours, Dwar Reyn."

"Thank you," said Dwar Reyn. "It shall be a question that no single cybernetics machine has been able to answer."

He turned to face the machine. "Is there a God?"

The mighty voice answered without hesitation, without the clicking of a single relay.

"Yes, now there is a God."

Sudden fear flashed on the face of Dwar Ev. He leaped to grab the switch.

A bolt of lightning from the cloudless sky struck him down and fused the switch shut.

:lol: Trick question :D

God can not be a person. So the answer is "nobody"

Next question

I think that could be considered a syllogistic fallacy or something like that, if I'm not mistaken.

B is not C
A is not B
Therefore,
A is C ?

By that logic, you could say that White people are Black...

A = White
B = Asian
C = Black

God is a narcissistic egomaniac who makes us build his ego by making us praise him using threats of eternal hellfire if we don't.

Didn't Al Pacino say that in "the Devil's Advocate?"

This logic appeals to me. I'm white, but certainly am not white.
