People ask question like: "What would you ask God when you meet him"

If you ask "What would you ask the Universe when you meet it", you see that the question becomes kind of silly.

So there seems to be a difference in the concepts.
Sure you can go on and define God in a way that "What would you ask God when you meet him" becomes also silly, but most people seem to accept the question, so it is easier to say universe if you mean a concept in which the "What would you ask"-question becomes silly.
