If there is a God and it’s the one from the Abrahamic religions then He is the all-knowing Creator of the universe who made us in His image. So, he obviously knows that humanity has a lot of questions for Him that weren’t adequately answered in any of his holy books or haven’t been sufficiently addressed by the folks who claim to speak on his behalf on Earth.
(Note: I am referring to God as a “He” because of how He’s represented in the literature. However, I’d assume that God would be more of a they because beings that exist beyond space and time haven’t much need for a gender.)
Personally, if I made it to heaven and was given an audience with Mr. Almighty, then there’s a whole host of questions that I’d need to have answered. Here are my top 5:
- What was in Marsellus Wallace’s briefcase in “Pulp Fiction”?
- Can I have my dog Murray back now?
- Where’s John Lennon and is there a bar in this place where we can have a few beers?
- Who made you?
- If you’ve been healing people all this time, why is it always something internal that we can’t see? You’ve allegedly healed all types of internal diseases but not once has an amputee had a limb grow back. Please explain.
A Reddit user by the name of GeometryThing recently asked the AskReddit subforum “You can ask God any one question, what do you ask him?” and the answers ranged from the philosophical to the heart-wrenching to the hilarious. One of the big questions was why is there so much suffering on Earth if he loves us? While others wondered what He thought about some of his most ardent believers with questionable ethics.
Here are 17 of the best questions that people would ask God if they could.
