If "God" is the answer to every question (or at least every sufficiently ultimate-sounding question) then I suggest it is not really a useful answer to any question.
Frankly, what you say comes across to me as "How dare all these people talk about deep mysterious things without giving my preferred Answer To All Deep Mysterious Things?". Well, maybe your answer is wrong. Or maybe somehow more than one can be right. Or maybe there are in fact multiple Deep Mysterious Things that don't all have the same answer. Or maybe, as you clearly think is obvious, those other people are all wrong because the only right answer to any Deep Mysterious Thing is "God".
But you might consider the following: if your current beliefs imply that anyone who asks questions like these should "bump into God", then the fact that someone asks questions like these and doesn't indicates that something in your current beliefs is wrong. Still more, the fact that (as you complain of in your last paragraph) people frequently ask such questions without "bumping into God".
