If you want to ask yes or no questions about God, there is not really an answer that can be given. Perhaps it will be an invitation to further conversation, but a one word affirmation or denial of such a complex idea is what i would doubt the validity of if it stands alone. my policy is to not usually answer that question unless i have the time to explain my answer, simply because saying "Yes" or "I am Christian" leaves so many things out. they probably will know more about me when i decline to say than if i just told them the one word.
