If you could ask the god's one question...

I recently got a chance to talk to god. He said I could ask one question. So I said, "Why Hiccups?" He told me to stop asking stupid questions. He never let me ask another question, and come to think of it, he never answered my first...

What would you guy's ask?

 

I'd ask him to lend me a tenner till next thursday.

 

id probably ask what does he do. you know like what keeps him busy,occupied,entertained etc for all this time and time still ahead. god is probably so complex and outside the boundaries of time that my question might not even apply to him. i can think of so many questions its hard to pick just one. i suppose if i had the chance to personally ask god a question i wouldnt ask anything and instead use it as an oppourtunity to thank him for all he has done and will do. or maybe id ask if he had a question for me lol.

 

I'd ask him if he had any regrets.

 

I'd ask him so what about the last 2000 years......

 

who made him

 

I got to ask three...

God, you're so much more vast than we are, how long is a second to you?

God: About a million years.

So how much is a penny to you?

God: About a milllion dollars.

Could you spare me a penny?

God: Sure. Wait a second....



Seriously, so many questions, would be hard to limit it to just one. I guess it would be nice to know how my cancer will work out in the end, but one way or the other I expect I'll get my answers eventually.

 

I'd be torn between:

What's the secret to world peace?
What are the winning lottery numbers?

And finally:

If you created all life on Earth, what were you smoking before you made the Platypus?

 

I can answer that one for you...and no, I don't think I am God ........we all have freewill, and have to take the consequences for our actions.

My question........what came first...the chicken or the egg?

Seriously though...when is rapture going to take place and will it be in my (earthly) lifetime?

 

That one is simple, something that was almost a chicken (but not quite) laid an egg that hatched into a chicken (barely). So the egg came first!

 

I've always tried to tell people this as well. They usually say I'm wrong, but I think they just don't WANT to know the answer!

 

I wouldn't have any questions to ask but I would have something to say to Him. Thank you for giving me a chance to live, be part of the wonder and beauty you created here on earth, to experience the good and the bad, to love and be loved. I am neither rich nor poor, healthy nor ill but I am able to wake up each day and experience what is most precious in life...family, friends, birds singing outside my window...the changing seasons...I am able to live and breath...smell the beauty of flowers or a quick summer rain. Through all of the ups and the downs, the natural beauty that is in every tree...the grass below my feet or the breeze I can feel on my face...through all the losses and tragedy's I have endured there has always been light at the end of the tunnel and that light has been You. So, Thank you.

 

I was looking at all the thinks that were asked and then seen Abby's. This is my second chance to live,At times I know more then I need to. I Think I would say Thanks also.
Thanks Abby You made my Monday morning.
Chuck.

 

one question? I would say "You've done so much for me, what can I do for you?"

Jack

 

AbbySue---thanks---you made my morning---some tough times, lately, and forgot how good He has been to me---

 

I just realized that if the God's approched me in all their majesty, and looked down at my puny human form, they would talk in a voice that would come from the depths of the world and say, "Speak mortal! You may ask but one question!" And I'd gulp and say, "Just one?" And their response would be, "Yes!" And that would end up being a stupid way to use one question. So if any of you get a chance to ask them a question, don't try to verify the number of questions you get!

 

From my own perspective I need to say this. IMHO there is only one God.....call Him what name you like from whatever spiritual perspective you have...it is the same one and only God.

IF you get a chance to ask Him a question? It's not a chance thing...you can ask Him anytime you so wish, where-ever you are, whatever you are doing, however you feel....He will hear you. Whether you hear His answer, however, depends on whether you are listening and prepared for the answer to come in any way, shape ofr form possible, anmd quite likely not the exact answer you would like. There are no limitations to this communication, only if you let there be.

Just my 2c....

 

....Preach the gospel my child!!!!

I once walked into 'God's' office, and asked him just one question. "Am I due for a raise?"

He answered and said" Let me think about that. How about NO!!.."

'God' (A.K.A.) 'Da Boss' was happy he had re-asserted his authority, and I was reminded that I am but puny pawn in the wheel of life.

* * *

But seriously, I am often in struggle to remind myself that life has many pitfalls and snares, but many more blessings, and that each day is a precious and irreversible gift.

I too, would be more inclined to thank him, and ask him what I could do for him. (If you think that’s stupid – J.F.K. made a similar comment in his “Ask not what your country can do for you, ask what you can do for your country” speech) But then again, I do that every day, anyway.


Yep, we each have one thing that is ours – our freedom of will, or decision, in whatever situation life may throw at us.

 

Albeit with humor, that's exactly my point about asking a question and being prepared for the answer to not be what we expected.

You ask for a raise, meaning pay rise, and you could actually get a raise...to heaven!!!

Be very careful what you ask for?

 

Well, I wouldn't mind that little 'surprise', but I suspect I'm not done here, just yet, since I've had a few reprieves from death door, so to speak. It's almost as if the Lord's said "That was only an intermission - go back for the rest of the show"

Usually when I get what I ask for, I end up regretting it anyway, LoL! I'm joking, right? Nope.

 

Funny story, I actually met god too (the whole one legged thing was such a surprise, right!?). I was about to ask him a question, but then he sneezed.

I didn't know what to say.

 

silly note: What god's? There is only one god, and he pitches for the Yankee's...

serious note: Thanks for my wonderful, loving family and friends, everything AbbySue said, and processing chips!

Regards....

 

How about "Bless you" ? http://members.chello.se/solange/smileys/lol.gif

 

I didn't intend for this to be a religious discussion, just a place to ask amusing questions.
Lev: I'm not intending to get into a religious argument or try to insult you in any way, but in Buddhism, my religion, their are multiple gods. We call them devas, and even though they are not God's, per say, they are celestial beings who are subject to death and reincarnation. Again, I'm not trying to insult you or anyone in any way, I'm just informing.

How about, "Bless yourself?"

 

I wasn't bringing an argument on. I just needed to make a statement about my faith before answering, as what you had typed was worded in a way that was contrary to my beliefs. I wished to make that clear before answering so there was no confusion of where my faith lies

I am fully aware of the 'process' of Buddhism.

 

Oh good. Sorry about that. I wanted to avoid religious debats here, and just ask a random question like, "What were you thinking when you made the aadvark?"

 

Why didnt he make Desktop memory more compatible

If I sneeze with my eyes open will my eyes pop out

 

Why?

That would be my question.

 

why do I only get one question

 

Why the hell did you let my wife die son-of-a b1tch????

 

LOL. Now there's a thought.

 

Care to define good and evil for us MA?

Kinda thinking under God's understanding, the planet would soon be deserted

 

the normal answer: why not.
However, if you asked my mother this question, the answer is always: "Because I said so!"

 

I'd ask him (or her) What's with burying all that oil in the Middle East?"

 

Well, I.I.R.C., U.S.A., Canada and Australia, comes to that has a fair bit buried there, too. I know, in this state, we have the North-West shelf, Barrow Island, and maybe still others.

 

Those reserves don't come with "baggage"

 

I wanna know why when I talk to God it's called "prayer" but when God talks to me it's called "paranoid schizophrenia".

 

LOL...good question!

Answer being that man likes to have a support network he can confide in, but does not always have the faith to believe in that support network

 

why politicians?

 

And He would say "Just because".

Jack

 

Well, you can't have Hell without any 'demons'.

 

I suspect that were I in the presence of God and allowed to ask one question, there would be no need, as being there would pretty much be the answer.

 

wise words from the /slider. major wise ass.....

that say's it all i reckon! If we could ask, we should never know!

Regards...

 

That is the second good answer that I have ever gotten from that question in my life.

I have asked that question of a lot of people including several priests/ministers and a rabbi. One of the priests that has been a friend of mine for years was the only other person to give me a good answer too.

 

To Burning Monkey,

what's the first?

 

"No offense, Sean. But if God is talking to you, we are in a world of shit."

And given the wreckage of my past, I am inclined to believe him on that point.
