IF there was a God...
....what is the one question you would ask him/her?

We've talked about God a lot and our views on religion but putting them aside, what would you like to ask?

Re: IF there was a God...
I would ask why some people have to endure a life of suffering, be it through illness, natural disaster, constant war etc.

That's an excellent one because it's the reason many people give for not believing in God.

One day I think I'll ask how come I was born when and where I was born - but maybe by then I'll understand why anyway. It's sort of an extension on the theme of why other people were born when and where they were (and consequently endured the things they have.)

Re: IF there was a God...
Why me?.....

I do actually ask him that quite often.

With some of the stress i have i often think i must have been really bad in a past life....although i know im not alone in thinking this.

Gayle, I am listening, just because I don't answer very often, doesn't mean I'm ignoring you!

Perhaps if you were to sacrifice your first born?.....

As Willow says, this is the question a lot of people would ask.

I heard someone ask a vicar this question once and the answer was that all these things are man made.

God made the world and mankind and can't be held responsible for wars. We bring these on ourselves. I understand that some illnesses are man made too but others are not. People can't help getting illnesses like cancer....that's the part I don't understand.
