I would ask him one question, "Are you happy being god" Just to see what he says, I already know the answers to many of the "Deep" questions of the universe, So asking him if he feels happy with his existence. To see what keeps god happy and entertained.
Who made the thing that made God?Skeleon said:
Who made that?
Is the Universe an infinite loop?
Do we have a big bang every few trillion years then start over exactly the same?
Does only one thing change?
Everything Change?
Was the Big Bang we know about the first?
How old is the universe?
Do you have a name?
Was Jesus real?
Which religion's God are you?
Why does everyone think you only care about Earth?
Is there more life in the universe that we could communicate with?
Wow, I have a lot of questions... I don't think I could make just one.
Other than, "Can you tell me everything?" but the whole limited lifespan thing comes into play.
And another one I just thought of, If the universe is everything, and is expanding and therefore has an edge, what is outside of everything? Although logically we must conclude there is Nothing outside the Universe.
Hundreds of Billions of planets, (s)he/it probably has very little time to talk to us and make sure everything goes perfectly, although if we are to believe that God is all powerful and as such is everywhere at once, then yes, God is a jerk.Sindaine said:
Uh, we can't know that...What makes you think He did?Snowalker said:
I would probably ask what animal He created first.
Or I would ask how my granddad is doing.
I'd be too awe-struck, because him existing pretty much screws up my philosophy.(Well, in most interpertations religion has) I suppose I'd ask why do any of this, which I would presume to be boredom. Making living things is exactly what I would do to quell boredom as God. Then maybe mess with them a bit. ^_^
So was this the plan all along or did you make it up as you go along?
Heh I'm sure he'd give a interesting answer.
Heh I'm sure he'd give a interesting answer.
Hey God! I haven't seen you since Buddha's party man! What happened?
Seriously, that guy's been missing for like... 2 weeks...

I can actually answer that one. You see, part of what makes us human is Free Will, the ability to make our own choices. Unfortunately, part of free will is living with the consequences of our actions. Evil is the result of negative choices on the part of humans.RedDiablo said:
The follow-up question to this is always "So why does God let us do evil things?"
The answer to this is that it's the same as if you and I were the only two living creatures left on Earth, and I told you that you were my best friend. It wouldn't mean anything because... well... it's not like I have any alternatives. God wants us to love Him, which means following his plan for us, but if we don't have anything we can choose instead of God, then choosing him wouldn't mean anything.
The short version is that without evil, we couldn't really have good.
Is a child being held down 'free'?yosophat said:
As David Cross has said, why does anyone praise Jesus for dying for us? His choice was to either stay alive in a desert where sand got everywhere and the common food was basically gruel or go to eternal paradise where he would rule aside his father/himself. Hmmmm.....hard decision.
What you said about free will conflicts with what I hear about this plan that god has for everyone/everything that happens for a reason.Superhyperactiveman said:
Therefore, God chooses for evil to exist. God = evil.
Did I just blow your mind?
No, you just made yourself look like a complete fool on the internet. Congratulations.firedfns13 said:
If someone can foresee the future, are they making it happen themselves?
No, they just give you a choice and in the end, God really does know what you will choose.
He gave Adam and Eve a choice to listen to him, or blow off his only rule.
Guess what? They blew off his only rule.
Therefore, God is not evil. He just gave us a choice between good and evil, and we chose evil.
Allowing =/= Cause
No, you just took what I said and twisted it, that's not what it means at all.firedfns13 said:
People choose for evil to exist. God chooses to give people that choice, because without it, his plan would pretty much be pointless, kind of like setting up dominoes. God's plan is... actually, I'm not exactly sure what his plan details, all I know is that in his plan, we're good people. Being evil is just a rejection of his plan.
Let me put it this way. God allows the existence of evil. He doesn't choose it, nor does He enjoy it. He simply allows it to exist. He allows it to exist because Good and Evil are like Yin and Yang, you cannot have one without the other.
There are a lot of questions you could have about this, and I'm REALLY not the best person to explain it to you. You might try a priest, or possibly a monk.
