Default What would you ask God if you had just one question?

Suppose that he wouldn't be offended no matter what you asked?

Default Asking back

He'd know the question anyway. He's God after all. So what point lies in asking the question in the first place? Maybe like everyone else, he needs a mirror to see himself. But then, what does he ask you?

As much as my conscious mind is saying to myself that I am part of God as we all are, I still don't 100% believe it, but as I do consider myself a God as I consider all of you Gods I would ask: "What's the most fun thing you've ever done?"

So therefore, I ask you, what's the most fun thing you've ever done?

I believe in God as a kind a collective consciousness, even Universal Consciousness. So we're all God. I don't have anything to ask him, my only doubts are about the future, and not even God can know the future...

If we are all parts of God, God cannot be self aware until we are all fully aware of one another.

It was a joke, but if god is real and omniscient then he/she would surely have known how the world was going to turn out.

It's funny how we give each other presents on God's birthday. It's like, you invite everybody to your birthday, and they start swapping presents between themselves as you watch.

How was it weird? (I don't think this is the appropriate thread for that; start one up and drop me a PM to tell me where it is and I'd love to chat with you about it.)

I would ask where I can find the user documentation that comes with life, find it, obtain it, and PhotoRead it.

You probably won't understand the above quote unless you've seen The Last Samurai, in which case you should go see, buy, or rent it - right now. Then after that you should read Steve's blog post entitled Perfection.
