If you were to meet God on that public transit bus, (as the girl sings in "what if God were one of us),what questions or topics would you bring up?

I think you are more likely to meet Jesus on the bus or subway, than you are in church. Conversations with people who are riding a bus about faith are really interesting, and can be rather humbling, especially on routes heading towards less affluent parts of a city. It makes me believe in the concept of Holy Spirit.

I’d try my best to remember this Epicurus quote to see what he’d have to say about it:

Is God willing to prevent evil, but not able? Then he is not omnipotent.
Is he able, but not willing? Then he is malevolent.
Is he both able, and willing? Then whence cometh evil?
Is he neither able nor willing? Then why call him God?

@Damien: Have you read “The Shack?” Perhaps things that we perceive as evil happen for a greater good reason that we just can’t see yet.

I’m not sayin’ I believe that, but it is an interesting idea.

I run into someone claiming they are God almost every time I take the bus. I usually don’t have any questions for them.

I had my opportunity to ask Jesus questions personally when I used to work late nights cleaning the meat department at a downtown Safeway, but blew it. He used to come in quite often, complete with robe, flowing beard and all, with a “disciple”.
We got all kinds at that Safeway.

I’d probably be too shy to say anything…

I’d ask him what he thought of this

Good one Scamp!

Thanks loser!

I wouldn’t have any questions, all I could really say would be…
“Damn it. I was wrong. I own my buddy some money.”
oh wait, I would have a question for him, it would be,
“Hey God, can I have 500$? I need to pay off my debt for being wrong with my buddy.”

I would just ask “Why?” About everything.

I’d ask him how he got people to profess that he is a good, benevolent god when he allows things such as childhood lukemia to ravage babies and young children which are clearly without sin.

I will ask for his autograph and put it on eBay!

OK, so I’d ask Him if He’s jealous of the Beatles’ popularity.
