There are many facts that support possibilities of god
Interesting. Do you have an example?

Atheism offers no values - you have to add them
Means I as atheist are much better than a theist. Theists would murder, steal, betray without limit if they were not afraid to be punished after death by big daddy. I as atheist am not hindered by such fear, and despite that I don't do such things. Looks like I have my a moral compass on my own.
The whole National Socialism with its 'race' and 'blood' was/is a religion. The scientific background the Nazis tried to construct was as scientific as the creationism.
Tsk, you don't understand the bible or christians. This was old testament. This is not valid anymore... unless it is.
Beyond the computational aspect, we also need to decide, as a society,
...and the law is effectively a bad law as a result...
You have no idea how bad. And for companies like Google, this can be handled. But this law demands those infos for all German websites. Some argue that it is even necessary for a 'under construction' place holders. So every small hobby website has to deal with the spam problem. But this is not the worst. The worst are Lawyers. In Germany any lawyer can assume that you do not want to be sued for any infraction against this (or other) laws. So he can assume that you want him to become active on your behalf and send you a cease and desist letter... for a small three figure fee, of course. Many lawyers do this to make some extra money. For some this is actually the main source of income.
Now, of course none of this scum dares to go against Google, but a small site owner can get such a cost-reinforced cease and desist letter for not answering an email fast enough... the law says 'fast electronic contact'. It makes hobby websites in Germany very dangerous.
Unless there's also a law against IVR in Germany?
IANAL
Paragraph 5 TMG establishes the following general information obligations:
2. Information to permit a fast electronic contact and direct communication with them, including electronic mail address,
IANAL, but email address is explicitly required. And neither 'fast' nor 'direct' sounds much like "we don't read this address" and possibly not even like: "Nope, please use form 'foo' or call us via 'expensive service number'".
is 'Send Feedback' enough? I as I said: IANAL. My gut feeling? Perhaps for Google. Any other smaller site with less deep pockets can expect expensive 'cease and desist' letters and in worse case lengthy court battles.
I'd rather Google even be more honest and not even provide a support email at all.
Email is required according to the law.
The law does not restrict this requirement to customers. You have a commercial website, which targets Germany? You are required to provide contact information and react to it in a timely manner. Customer or not.
That the German Goverment should also respond to ALL emails, seeing as german citizens could be considered customers of the government?
Since when are assh... erm.... is a Government bound by the same rules as the common rabble?
