Hypothetical question: You suddenly find yourself at the "Pearly Gates" and meet God (in whatever form you deem God would take) face to face. Given all the time you need, is there anything you would want to say, or ask ?

I would probably fall to my face before Him and be so in awe that I would not be able to enunciate any words clearly! 😊

A question I really pondered.

I would have nothing to ask, I will know all I'll need to.

I would have nothing specific to say.

I would however like to just sit around and just talk about anything that would come to mind. Might like to get to know him a little before we start really talking about the big stuff.

I'd have a couple of questions:

What really came first, the chicken or the egg?

Can't you and the Devil put your differences behind?  It's been, what - 15 billion years?  Wasn't he your homie once?

I'd ask him to send me back in time to smack the apple out of Eve's hand, cut the head of the snake and set man on the right track.

First of all, IMO if this was indeed God, speech would be unnecessary, as He'd already know my thoughts...

He would be aware of my surprise that He exists at all. Questions would follow thus:

Why am I here [now]?

Where have you been?

Why do you allow for so many to sustain the wrong understandings about you?

Considering the ongoing conditions of your Creation, on what basis do you deserve to be worshipped?

Why slavery?

Who was the shooter on the Grassy Knoll?

Why was Galileo stifled and excommunicated?

What the hell was the mix-up with the platypus? 

Are there cheeseburgers "up here"?

....the Almighty would have some 'splainin' to do.

Being completely honest, isn't there some aspect that you'd seek an answer to, given the opportunity?

"We are often told by the great sages that metaphysics (the philosophy of mind) cannot be grasped using just the intellect; practice or cultivation is required to complement the understanding of their concepts."

Honestly, Z---no.

Having found what I think to be significant (though incomplete) truth about the nature of reality and the existence of God and the "economy of salvation" some 40+ years ago, the practice and cultivation of what I believe to be true has left me with an absolute trust that God knows what He is doing and that all that I am aware of will prove to have been ultimately fitting.

I... Would ask him a series of things. I would ask him why he gave my mother cancer, and why he put so much violence and war into the world. But I would also ask him to 'tell' the rest of my family not to be sad over my death, that I am okay and they should be too!! (I don't believe in God but that's what I would say)
