Maybe God does not answer prayers because you are being too familiar with him.

Yeah, you're right. We should show more respect. Now since the title "God" is the highest, why not just call God as God God? Or God God God? Or better still, God God God God God God .........

God i think is intself a all inclusive word look up the meaning hey wait i will give it to you
God is the deity believed by monotheists to be the supreme reality. Often characterized as a male figure, he is believed variously to be the sole omnipotent creator, or at least the sustainer, of the universe
I think that definition entails everything about him so why do we need more formality than that? Most people add our heavenly father God and i think thats getting even more formal dont you??

Titles and respect are two different things. Almost everyone has a title, but not everyone has the respect of others.
Pastor Smith and Inmate Smith are both titles for someone named Smith. Pastor Smith can earn respect for his work in the community, and he can lose respect for banging his secretary in his spare time. Inmate Smith can lose respect for his crimes against society, but can gain respect for his good behavior while in prison.
In other words, titles don't make anyone worthy of respect. Respect is something you get or don't get regardless of whether you have a title, or regardless of what the the title is.
Sorry to disagree with you there Mister.

God is the ultimate term of respect from those that love him. Jews so revered God that that would not even say his name out of fear and respect.
I believe Jesus has taught us that God loves us as a Father loves his Children (even more) and we should try to be close to him and call him Abba (Daddy).
By the way God does still answer prayers.

God loves us all. He knows of every single thought and action in our lives. Do you think for even a moment that he does not desire a close and personal relationship with us? He most likely will appreciate the actions of respect towards Him and his teachings if this is your concern. God knows he is Almighty and you should address him with respect. Acknowledging God as God Our Father in Heaven says it all..
