What would you say to God?

Assuming that God is real, and upon death you find yourself "face-to-face" to Him/Her/It, what would you have to say or ask? I am also assuming that God is a sentient being of intelligence that could answer back.

I come to you and hope you will take me, more importantly, please show love and forgiveness to all... As "they do not know what they do." Also please remove the wool from their eyes.

Ooh, good one! Probably "I'm sorry" to be quickly followed by, "What were You really trying to tell us?"

Re: What would you say to God?

In reality, I'll probably be speechless and completely humbled on my knees, ever grateful for my life and thankful for what He has done for me.

But for practical purposes, I'd probably say:

"Do you think you could have made it a little more clearer? I mean look at all these religions. We are so confused."

Re: What would you say to God?

Well you know some of us have had an experience where you meet someone who has say vast experience and knowledge and we are excited about meeting them but when the time comes to say anything we're speechless!

So if this happens with mere mortals how much more would we be totally humbled and speechless before the Ineffable!

And what could you say that is that novel or maybe say unusual that hasn't been asked or thought about already?

A Being as spiritually potent and charismatic as we can contemplate could read our thoughts long before they begin to take shape in our lips.

I would feel totally evaporated and nothing before such majesty!

I would be shocked yeh, but hope I would have presence of mind to say " You *******, how dare you allow such terrible pain, suffering and cruel death in your name".
