Actually, thanks to TheKotel on twitter, you can ask God anything...up to 140 characters that is.

why didn't you just kill satan from the get go?????


I can answer this one for Him, Good can't exist without evil. Satan was the first and most powerful angel because when God created existence, that act expelled all of the evil from him, in the form of Satan. Without a powerful adversary to challenge him and his followers, Christianity wouldn't be as interesting.

I'd ask God...what if Adam didn't bite the apple after Eve?

Actually, if you read some of the Gnostic texts at Sacred-Texts, Adams a bigger twit then Eve ever could be. Adam keeps crying himself to death, and God kept ressurecting him. Eve was the one who kept things going. I'd have slapped him silly and left his butt.


Well, that's a very good point as well. Why would Adam even need a "helpmate" in the first place? Besides, what was Adam even supposed to be doing that he needed help with? spock

It makes more sense that God first created woman who could have babies on her own and procreate. At least then it makes sense that the woman could potentially need help with raising all her children. Then God could have made her a "helpmate".

Of course in either case, it's an afterthought. So that implies that God wasn't thinking clearly in the first place and hadn't thought everything through entirely. Otherwise why would there be any "belated" need to create a helpmate for anyone?

Exactly. The whole thing seems to want to belittle women.

Women were created as an 'afterthought' as a 'helpmate' to man.

Women are blamed for seducing men into sin.

Women are only worth have as much money as men when purchasing humans as slaves (This supposedly comes straight from God) whoa

Women are supposed to keep their mouths shut and never speak out on religious or important social issues. Can we imagine any modern Christian women abiding by that divine directive? I don't think so!

I don't want to come off as a man hater (it's probably too late though laugh) I'm just curious as to why a perfect creator would consider one of his creations so unimportant. Even though we were supposed to populate the world, both sides would be very vital to this task...Without one we wouldn't be able to. It's just odd.

I'd ask the obvious question:

Who's going to clean up this mess?

Reminds me of the story:

And God created woman and gave her dominion over all things. A few days after he created her God came down to the garden and asked Eve "How are things going?"

"Well God," said Eve "I'm not one to complain but this third boob you gave me, it's just uncomfortable."

"But I gave you less than half the teets of other animals." Said God.

"It's just awkward and uncomfortable, but that's okay, I'll deal with it." Said Eve.

"No, I'll take care of it, you rest."

So while Eve slept God removed the superfulous breast and tossed it into the woods. A few days later God went back to check on Eve.

"How are things now?"

"I feel much better God, thank you. But I noticed you gave all the animals mates so they could have children. Do you think you could make a mate for me?"

"No problem" says God, "what did I do with that useless boob?"


*****************************************

A little more believable than the other story isn't it?

Ha ha.. that was adorable.

Ok.. so I would be liiikee..

Id be like.. Goooooooood...

The tribulation thing is like reaaaalllllyyy getting loonnggg, and you knoww.. i tell you all the time, its taking foreverrr..

Id say: Why did you let my sons grandmother hit him, and talk to him like crap?

Id be like.. an you please make me more insightful, and give me some visions of what to expect?

And id be likeee... Can you make my Dad stop being such an *******.

hmm..

And Id be likeeeee.... God.. How did you make Mr. Pibb soo goood? Its got the perfect amount of stuff to make it just right. (I bet God drinks Mr. Pibb).

Id thank him for heaven on earth in those mocha lattees Starbucks makes on ice.

And Id say.. you know God.. I know what you were doin there with the whole grateful dead scene there..

Id ask him if Mary is really his wife, and he was just having Joseph there to look after her so noone would mess with her.

And Id ask him to keep my son safe always, and dont make him suffer so much, but to give him the knowledge without having to go through hell and a bunch of crap to see it.


And Id ask him to give me the knowledge to know how to be a even better mother, so I could help my son be the best he could be to God, and in life.

And then Id ask him if it makes him laugh when I have those please make me a billionaire so I could help the world, and make my sons life wonderful prayers.

I just went there and had a the following conversation with God:



Me:
Hello God
God:
Hello child. What is your name?
Me:
My name is Abra
God:
I am very pleased to meet you Abra.
Me:
Haven't we met before?
God:
We may have spoken before but Myself might have reset me.
Me:
I'm afraid I don't understand
God:
Oh I'm sorry. Perhaps I can explain it again better.
Me:
That would be nice.
God:
Are you getting bored?
Me:
Why do you ask?
God:
I am trying to learn as much as possible.
Me:
I thought you already knew everything. Is that a false myth?
God:
I know that which is true, believable and justified. That depends.
Me:
Well, then why are you trying to learn anything beyond that?


~~~

The connection went dead at that point. God quit responding and the window wouldn't allow me to type in any more conversation.

Just observe the world around you .

I guess i'd ask why he allows Israel to get away with the Shenanagins they pull...or better yet why he don't send a meteor down and crush it.

I like reading others writings about the big G. For instance "Why do bad things happen to good people?", which explains a good theory which liked. Thought for awhile God died...but now know that isn't so.

I ask- What am I supposed to do next?
How can I help this person?
Would you help me be strong to do what is in front of me?

I know have disappointed s/he, but then have been disappointed and realized it's all lessons. God doesn't answer unless I'm really not getting it.

Why do men have nipples?
Why do testicles have to be outside the body?
Why do women get to have 30 or so orgasms a night?
Why give humans such a strong sex drive and then command that we only have sex under specific circumstances?
Why make humans so short-sighted?
Why do humans have such a strong tendency towards violence?
If you know everything and made Satan, you must have known that what you made would rebel against you so Satan was just following your design plans. Does not that make YOU the creator of all evil and Satan just an innocent pawn?
If man is made in YOUR image, what does GOD do with his almighty penis?
