Freepers are just about the most inventive group of folks I've been involved with.
Also, the most curious.
So I though I would toss this out to see what's on our collective minds.
If you had ONE QUESTION, just one, that you could ask of God (or whatever higher power you believe in), what would it be?
I'll ping a gold star to whoever comes up with mine first!
Why Al Gore?
“Why are there so many vanities on FR?”
Can I shake your hand?
Some questions will never be answered.
Besides, I don’t see it as a vanity. I’m asking others what they think, not telling them what I think.
Isn’t it past your bedtime??
Why is there so much chaos in the world?
I was just talking about this with my kids. Of course now I can’t remember what we were wondering about.
Off the top of my head I would have to say “How does gravity work?” I suppose it can somehow be explained by quantum physics or whatever. So perhaps my question would be - “explain gravity to me so I can understand it”!
Freewill.
Why did evil prevail on November 4, 2008?
Actually, it is.
(I was just goofin' with ya'.)
This is America, yet we are infested with hostile Obamatron drones and other communists. Why is that?
What is the nature of God and the universe?
I know. You took the first shot, so I had to take one back!
regards!
;-)
If I am lucky enough to ask him anything face to face and live, I will probably ask him how I got there.
: )
Good one... but ask him that on Twitter and I don’t think he can answer in 140 characters or less...
Why is this very secular and very pro-leftist world still moving in the direction of becoming even more secular and even more pro-leftist everyday, instead of the world actually becoming more religious and more pro-conservative everyday?
My second one would be, is Islam the false religion?
If there is no answer, does that mean all religions are false?
(that’s my question to you, not God)
Hi, Since I am here, does it mean I can stay?
seriously, Why did my Moms only brother have to die at 33 the year before I was born and why did my best friends Mom have to die in 1980 causing the family to spin out of control. Maybe they will be standing there in his loving arms and I won’t care by then.
Could You create a pepper so hot even You couldn’t eat it?
Serious Answer: Am I on the right path to salvation?
Could G-d make a rock so big that even He couldn’t lift it?
Seriously, now - go visit YouTube and look up the O’Bama vs. Alan Keyes debate: Keyes-Obama debate 2 (Christianity). Listen to Keyes’ answer at 1:50.
I think America is downgrading, johnthebaptistmoore, but I think the world as a whole is moving towards the Messiah. I do believe we have more Christians now than at any time in history.
How can he not answer? lol! I am not religious but Islam is the biggest con going and brings nothing but pain and misery to the world. Founded by a double talking child rapist, that is why I ask.
Why did You allow Adam to fall? Which is the freewill question, I guess.
Creation or Evolution?
j/k
Could you tell me your funniest joke?? If it’s the one about Obama and Biden I’ve heard it......
Is their any more perfect food than the Burrito?
What is your Freeper name??
Could I borrow some talent like Limbuagh Did???
Seriously..I would try and ask something he might not have heard before make him laugh.....
>> Why did You allow Adam to fall?
He fell? I think he got promoted.
What, really, is “goodness”? Is the definition of “good” whatever pleases You?
Then I would ask, “What can people do to bring the most goodness into the world, and remove or at least neutralize the most evil?”
Just how significant are we in the grand scheme of things?
How do I make this my last life?
Well, I for one has never thought that there was “One True Religion”, and anybody who believes something slightly different is barred from salvation forever.
But I have serious doubts about any kind of religion that emphasizes killing people just because they don’t believe what you believe. That’s not a religion, it’s a militaristic cult.
IMHO, anyways.
>> Creation or Evolution?
ANS: “Yes - both. Do your homework.”
Agreed.
And God said,
“Let the waters move and bring forth the moving creature that hath life...”
Gen 1:20
“Is there intelligent life somewhere else in the universe?”
OHHHH! I think that was the one me and my kids were talking about. (Are UFO’s real, etc.)
“If it’s your will, what can I do to help make the U.S.A a better place for future generations?”
Disclaimer:
This is really really hard...normally I would take days revising, altering and rethinking the best question. Suffice it to say I’m not sure that would be the right question to ask him, but it’s the first one that I thought of.
“Just how significant are we in the grand scheme of things?”
I think it is in Psalms where David says something like “and what are we that you have made us higher than the angels” or something like that.
Or - watch “It’s a Wonderful Life”! ;)
How so?
He got the knowledge of good and evil.
And free will.
Love this thread—so many thinks to pause and think about.
Hmmmmm.
I think he HAD free will when he decided to eat the fruit.
He did get the knowledge, I suppose.
But then sin and death entered the world.
Bad trade.
Kim!
LTNS.
Remember the Reagan forum?
Anyways, it’s close to Easter, there seems to be an increasing level of turmoil in the world, a very dear friend of mine will probably pass soon from cancer, so I just thought I’d toss it out there.
Regards!
Serious Answer: Am I on the right path to salvation?
.....................
yes, salvation!
ultimately the most important thing to each of us personally
Eternity sort of frightens me...I don’t want to live it in the wrong place.
I'm very sorry to hear about your dear friend. My prayers go up for both of you. Another question to God—about illness and suffering.
One question for God? Actually, I would say none. The only answer is God and there is no question.
That’s my response anyway.
The Islam faith is presently the fastest growing religion in the world, and it may eventually overtake all other religions throughout the entire world. I’m actually not convinced that the second coming of Christ will be coming until, at the very least, another two thousand years from today, because I see the possibility of worldwide Christianity becoming a very minor religion in the far future, prior to Christ’s second coming actually happening. I’m only offering my opinion on this, as nobody can actually say for certain when the second coming of Christ will definitely be, despite all of the hints that are in the Bible.
Oswald...alone or conspiracy?
Why don’t all people like You?
Lord, you could stop all evil with a snap of your fingers. Yet you give us the free will to engage in it, or not. How come?
