That's a request, not a question.

Lazs, Chairboy,

Damnit this has been so overdone.

If you really want to rehash this silliness can you take it somewhere else? Neither of you is going to convince the other.

I'm now going to ask God for his recommendations on the best way to bang your head against a wall!

true

well i cant think of a question, if i truly had a chance to speak with him.(HIM IS USED FIGURATIVLY) face to face, (because every day i speak to him).

all i would be able to do is fall to my knees and beg for forgiveness, and any one who believes they could stand toe to toe with GOD has no concept of truth.

Ink, if god exists, then the abilities you have are his wish, right? The capability of thought and curiosity, even with that whole misunderstanding about the apple, are the result of his wish.

With that in mind, how happy would you make your god if you just mewled for forgiveness instead of using your noggin to make best use of the opportunity?

Presumably, he "receives" your thoughts and prayers and absolutions 24x7, I doubt he'd be terribly satisfied that Man, his greatest creation (just paraphrasing the scriptures here) would WASTE that opportunity to do something he can do any other time?

If you built a hotrod, and it could only honk its horn, would you be satisfied with that?

There's nothing wishy-washy about drawing a line between what can be known and what can't. You just drew yours a little further out than agnostics do.

if god does exist he's not gonna listen to any of us. he created the mechanisms of the universe(s). anything beyond that is evolution. heck, he's probably out creating new universes right now. life is a very small part of this universe, and earth is even smaller.

i don't really believe in god but something had to make all this from nothing.

"So I can ask one question?"

DREDIOCK · « **Reply #57 on:** August 14, 2007, 10:40:32 PM »

I'd ask.

If you know all, and knew all everything that has happpened was going to happen. And you know everything that is going to happen you know is going to happen already.

Why did you bother in the first place?

Wait, if God is of the opposite gender, can we ask for sex?

You know if he/she made it so good they must enjoy it, or at least support its propagation.

Either way, there must certainly be a sense of humor up there, and the flattery may buy you brownie points.
