if you could ask one question of god what would it be?
my question would be how come you let so many people die in your name?

i know people might have better ones but please post .
thanks

What is the true path to eternal salvation, unhindered by Man's meddlings?

Will you tell me how to spend every waking moment in your presence? Will you tell me how to know you more?

When will Jesus bring the pork chops?

What is the meaning of life, the universe and everything, besides 42?

Why did you make me so stupid?

Why did you make me so stupid? I would not question God, much, anymore. Everytime I thought he screwed up, I found out later that I did not know what I was talking about.


Edit: Sorry for the double post.....
told you I was stupid...

Isn't that the truth.

Why wasn't I born a Prince? I could put up with living in a Castle.

Why do you allow Satan to be so powerful on earth?

Why? (He knows what Im talking about, its very similar to DSTM's original post)

What are this weeks lottery numbers

(Money isnt everything, but its a darn fine starting point.)

I would ask God.

Am I ok? In my right mind?

Sometimes I wonder! *giggle*

Why are ants so mean and want to bite you instantly even if alone?

Erm, maybe this is cheating. Ive already asked my one question. But Ive got two more questions for God. She's very understanding so I'm sure she wont mind.

1. Are we alone in the universe, or is there other intelligent life, if so where/how far away? (hmm, I could probably re-phrase this to make it one question)

2. Who really killed JFK? (The whole lot, was the CIA really behind it)

Depending on my mood for the day, one of the two following questions..... *tap* *tap* *tap* is this thing on???


Ahem.....God

"Where are we going with these handbaskets?"

Or

"What were you thinking about when you made the platypus?"

Be (42) Safe

Da Bleepin AniMod, Animal

What have you got against the Cubs..........

At the risk of sounding way too serious for this thread if I could ask god one question it would be: what's the cure for all of our "incurable' diseases? I may not be able to understand the answer but I would sure pass it on to someone who did.

God is the Supreme Ruler of our Universe.At the risk of upsetting Religious Factions,I don't think we are going to get any answers,because looking at the sick state of the World,I tend to think Satan has the upper hand.Otherwise why does God let so much Pain and Suffering go on since the beginning of time?Another Question to GOD.
How in all your wisdom, can you stand by and watch Sinless Innocent little Babies Die,like my 12 Months old little Sister?

Has Satan got the upper hand? Perhaps a more viable possibility is that the supernatural does not exist at all; could it be that the happenings of our world are but a mesh of overlapping random events?

I suspect it is becoming increasingly difficult for many rational-minded individuals to hold on to the belief that there is 'loving order' behind the mechanics of the world, as even casual observation directly contradicts such a belief.





DSTM, my sincere condolences for your family's loss.

You have my sympathies as well DSTM.

Thanks Guys.It was a long time ago,but all my life,I have asked GOD the Question. "WHY"

So how many licks does it really take to get to the center of a lollipop?

Seriously I would ask him what is outside of our universe? Is it heaven?

EDIT: About the satan thing... how do you know it is satan? It could just be someone else religious belief (the middle east), freewill (to choose to do nothing, no good, no evil).

Actually,

I find one good whack with a hammer

gets me there quickly every time!

I prefer the slow satisfaction of a vice! (I know, I know, I am a bit of a sadist)

What if this life only mattered for what it was? Nobody or nothing is keeping score. We all just do our thing, for good or ill, and then we return back to God. Why must there be punishment? The world is full of suffering already, I hate to think that the after-life holds such as well.

Do you ever punish your kids or animals? Why?

Yes, first Eve then Adam and also the sneaky serpent,. They all sinned. (God speaking)

Yes, I do. But I think you are making some fundamental assumptions in the relation of the two.

I am in the form of a physical being, present to discipline them. I do not require that they 'decipher' what I am punishing them for and what I am rewarding them for. Based on faith, you (for instance) believe that the Word of God is manifest in the Bible. However, others may believe that the Word of God is in the Torah. There no concrete evidence to laud one over the other, enter faith. My puppy doesn't have to place faith in the assumption that what I am punishing them for is wrong and not to be repeated. I am right there, manifest in anger, to show her exactly what she did wrong and punish her accordingly, physically.

We, as Human Beings, are given no such luxury. What is wrong by one individual's faith may be condoned by another.

Thus, your assumptions include:

That God takes an active role in our lives and our upbringing. If so, then God directs through consequences in our lives. More like Karma, which is not spoken of in the Bible (to my knowledge).

That God's rules are explicit and do not necessitate faith. Which would contradict a major facet of religion.

That there is only one source for the wishes of God for Man. As I am the source for the punishment of my puppy.


Therefore, it is becoming increasingly difficult for me to believe in a God of Love who is willing to punish us because somewhere along the line, we missed a little bit of context. Furthermore, the idea that I should be forced to live in fear of what lies beyond mortality because of the selfish choice made by two so long ago is laughable; just as I would not shoot you after my house was broken into because you were my neighbor and 'let it happen'.

If God is Benevolent, then in believing and adhering or disbelieving and disobeying, I am incapable of bringing about any Evil from God. And I would certainly view an eternity of punishment as Evil.

Why does their have to be religion? Why does religion always promise the after-life of being eternal or better? Why not do better in this life and just screw religion? We can all behave and get along without religion. I am not saying there doesn't have to be a God, but why does it have to be seen as something of comitting your whole life to for "praying" for a "happy" or satisfying after-life?

We sound like the Egyptians...

Why wont the g/f clean up my desk after she uses it?

I would ask God - Which one really does come first - the chicken or the egg???

There are so many questions unanswered .. The main question is should we ask a Higher Being or should we look for ourselves.. Is it not so that those who look shall not find?

How do you put up with everything and yet manage to make good?

Why, oh why, oh why did you give women mentrual cycles?!?!??! Do you have any idea how annoying they get when they have it!? I bet Mary doesn't get her period in heaven...

(sorry guys, but being straightforward) What purpose is there in rewarding those who blindy follow something with no indicative evidence, and why no granted salvation for those who question and quest to learn meaning for themselves?

2 many questions to ask...

here is 1 quick 1...


"Why death?"

"Why death?"

Explained in Genesis in the Bible.
Death is because of sin.

I thought the question was to God...your God!?

lol,jk. Couldn't resist.

No but God said in his word the answer to that question already so I thought I would post it.

Do I get stuck with this wreck of a body, assuming I go to heaven, or do I get a new and better one?? I'd settle for a good used one if that's all that's available.

I know, it just seemed funny to me, sorry.

[God] Because I said so! [/God]

On a serious note,

if you are asking that question of God

after you are dead, I suppose the answer will have a lot more meaning.

Also answered in the Bible.

Im glad i asked a question somebody needed to debate

I realize CGM that my silly question is indeed answered in the Bible, no disrespect intended, just having a silly mood for a moment. Sorry if I offended.

Yano! I happen to be able to answer your question. It takes 332 licks to get to the center of a Tootsie Pop! My son counted and thats how many it took until the center showed through. Honest to God, it's true!

DSTM, I am sorry to hear of your family's loss. I lost a cousin long long ago and it never does make any sense does it? All I can think to say is.. if we don't know pain, how can we know what pleasure is? If evil didn't exist, how would we know what good was? I know that doesn't help a real lot tho, regarding your sister.

Would that also vary depending on the size of one's tongue?

It also depends on the sustained temperature during the "licking". Varying temperatures could dictate the amount of saliva residing on the tongue when applying a lick to the toosie-pop. Thicker amounts of saliva would inevitably result in higher amounts of dissolved candy, and thinner would result in less.


The above is B.S.

"Believable Stuff"?

From a personal point of view I love your BS reasoning when it comes to how many licks to get to the center of a tootsie pop! Since I have a disorder that highly deprives me of having much saliva at all I am doomed to forever forgo the pleasure of a tootsie pop and getting to the middle again!!! I actually think that my disorder could very well be a conspiracy against me by the makers of tootsie pops!! As a child I could never manage to see how many licks it took--- I WAS A BITER!!!!!! Although come to think of it I guess I could still have a tootsie pop and bite away!!! It could even possibly stimulate my salavary glands so I could slobber over it just a little!!

This too is BS---but I sure had good time coming up with it!!! stupid grin, the disorder however was not BS so you really don't have to worry about me spitting on you anytime soon!!

Sorry about getting off topic folks, just one of those days I guess.
