Pop Culturist - January 2008

If I Met God I Would . . . ?

January 1st 2008 21:00
Now I don't purport to be deeply religious but if you were to meet God, what would be the 1 question you would ask?

Yes, yes, I know it's all a bit deep for this (or any time) of the year - but as far as curly questions go - it's gotta be right up there with the whole genie in a bottle and three wishes thing - huh!


So?

Would you plump for the "where did YOU come from?" line or perhaps you'd pull the "what's the meaning of the universe" card from the question deck?

Maybe you'd go with "Why did you create evil?" or better still "Why did you create Michael Bolton/Barry Manilow/Celine Dion?".

Take it seriously - be a little flippant - it's not meant to offend.

A little laughter, respect and understanding of all points of view should, afterall be tolerated - it would make this world a much saner place me thinks.

What can I say?

Would be a great talking point amongst your mates though.

Make sure you have a pen to jot them down.

Might as well get his/her autograph while you're at it!

Happy New Year to you.

Celebrity Obsession
Oh lordy, I'm not sure what I would ask. Proof that there's a god would probably turn my brain to mush and I daresay I'd ask something insightful and meaningful such as:

"why the hell couldn't you have given me a perfect size 10 body without me having to exercise and diet you ass (actually, even a size 10 body with dieting and exercise might have been acceptable)? You created the whole god damned world (excuse the blasphemy) and yet you couldn't see fit to give me a supersonic metabolism? You're obviously a man, as a female god wouldn't have overlooked something this important. You and I need to have a serious chat about what is important to women. You might be omnipotent but you don't have a clue about chicks".

"oh and also, could you see fit to create me an Hermes Birkin bag and drop it off at my place? I love those bags, but as you didn't make me rich I can't afford to spend $35,000 on one. Please?"

Happy 2008!

Hey God if it wrong to perve why did you make them so hard to resist?

Like is it a test or something, because I am failing baddly.

I say 'Amen' to that, Kylie!

I would probably have to apologise for not believing without seeing. Actually, first I would want proof, then, if satisfied, I would apologise.

Mind you, I have never been satisfied about the existence of God previously, so it would take some convincing. An Hermes bag might do it for me, but I would want a vintage kelly instead of a birkin!

What would you ask, MNG?

I think most blokes would enjoy a quiet ale - a knowing nod of the head and probably talk about the cricket or footy.

Deep creatures aren't we?

1.Why do people fight over religion
2.How big was the ark again? It held a lot of animals.
Was the RSPCA around then?
3. Is it dark in heaven? I am scared of the dark.

What question? Probably something like, "Could you set the record straight on the whole human equality issue please? There are way too many groups who haven't figured that out yet."

Hey Ginger

Only 1 question now - God doesn't like greed - remember

Thanks for stopping by - hope you can find the time to call in again real soon.

Sure - the whole dying thing is a great party trick - but you only get one go at it.

Guess we'd all best have a question ready.

HAHAHA Great Question MNG,

I would say:

'What kind of tea would you like, we have Camomile, Rosehip, Chait Latte, Rooibus and Vanilla, Sleepytime and of course good old Dilmah... or do you prefer coffee?

We have Organic decaf, colombian black, turkish shorts and good old nescafe 43 bean... or would you prefer a hot chocolate?

What milk would you like... we have soy lite, A2 moo-light and A2-moo regular?

How many sugars?

It could take a while to actually get to conversation, but I think the tea ceremony would be so very special, don't you?

I would ask why he Loved us so much as to send his only begotten Son to die for us, But then I would add a thank you for that.

Bible probably doesn't mention anything about defacating in public either . . . .

Best a little decorum and humility in the circumstances I suspect.

Actually the bible does make an individual responsible for the words coming out of his/her mouth, but it's never been much of a deterrent, Lester can attest to that.

After asking about the wisdom of Free Will , I'd finish myself off with, is the fabric of space bound together by sentient energy. Wasn't all that is created from this sentient energy?

And if this is true, then the earth may indeed have the ability to shrug us off, but only if it too, was part of the group vested with Free Will.

I am convinced MNG that you are far mored versed about the topic than you let on. But, if quirky questions get anyone thinking, then they're good questions. You seemed to have touched upon a sensitive issue. Raven

Thanks Raven

As far as producing thought provoking, quirky (and entertaining questions) I'm afraid the various gospels according to tlcorbin are all of the above and more.

Keep those posts coming.

Hahaha, ask my former students MNG, I live to provoke. Our class day always started with a quiz designed to get them thinking outside the box. They often left me in stitches with laughter, and it helped them work through the angst of learning.
