I think that bad things happen to people because God is all our consciousnesses. So we all together, is we all who we cause everything in the world, the good, the bad and the ugly. Not a character with a white beard...

Wait a sec, I thought god was a brunnette in a silver tutu.

That would be a good question: God, how funny was Alanis Morisette in Dogma!

Wait, that's not exactly a question, is it?

Hmmm... I'll ask God how he copes with the fact that he made people with the ability to choose not to be concious of him.

Dude, what are you going to get God for his birthday? He's already got a very nice blender -- the Pope gave it to him last year.

oOoOoOoh... alternative punchline:
God already made everything, right? So giving Him a birthday present is like somebody regifting crap back to you... crap that you made yourself. I don't want anybody taking my pottery and giving it back to me, and me having to pretend that I like it. I gave it away because it sucked. Obviously, God kept all the good stuff for Godself in heaven. Like the blender with 42 speeds...

If you really exist, why don't you just prove it to everyone in the world once and for all? :P

This question is really a moot point. We are asking God (or whatever you choose to call it) questions all the time, and we get answers.

And, frankly, if God were someone petty enough that could be offended by an impertinent question or two, our species would have been exterminated long ago.

Ask him how the weather is like up there.

I don't have any questions for him really. It'd destroy the enjoyment of finding the answers.

Göbels Question:
Do God answers this question with no?

It is possible for me to answer the question truthfully, but not for him, so I can do things he can't.
But that contradicts the notion of an allmighty God.
