One Question Challenge.

Temporally Challenged
I would actually have a very hard time with this particular prompt, and that has much to do with why I posted it. What kind of question one asks speaks to the core character of your person. I'd like to think I could ask a question which would benefit all of humanity like perhaps... How can humanity develop a system of morality which all or the overwhelming majority of people would accept and live by? But then again the pressure would be enormous. The enormity of the situation would weigh heavily upon me, and my conscience would be screaming "Don't screw this up or you will regret it for the rest of your life..." Only my rationality responds by saying "You will probably end up regretting whatever choice you make, so you might as well ask whatever you think is best now and just get used to the idea of regretting it now." At one point I even considered turning down the question (as in not asking) simply because of the gravity of the situation.

That is exactly how I feel about it. There is so much to consider, things like: Do I have the right to ask this one question? How would it affect my karma and my path? What kind of knowledge and understanding would it uncover and how would it affect my life in the physical realm? And do any of those things actually matter?

Not to mention that if I do ask the question, would this "being" know the exact definition of good and bad that is specifically my own?

All things considered, I think my question would be something like: What I, as a single holistic unit of consciousness incarnate, can do now, to affect the current predominant human point of view of reality, spirituality, morality and values, in order to change the life of all sentient beings on Earth for better?

I wouldn't dare ask God a question, they have all been answered in the Bible. I would fall down on my face and play dead.

the question wasn't if you would ask the god who wrote the bible a question. it was if you were confronted by the most advanced and knowledgeable being in the universe. this being also afforded you the question, and i'm not sure i would choose to be rude to the most advanced being in the universe.

The Universe continues to expand as we speak, there is no mystery about the universe, can mankind truly be so foolish to think that he is a larger creation than the universe?? If you are standing lets say on a far away star, then the earth is like a little dot, therefore realise how truly insignificant we all truly are in the sight of our Creator.

You are suddenly confronted with what you immediately "recognize" (does not matter how you "know" this specifically just that it is immediately known to you) to be the most advanced and knowledgeable being in existence. You are afforded one question, and are told that the answers will be only as complex as required to fully answer the question, but that nothing is outside the scope of inquiry. You can ask whether your highschool crush had feelings for you or what the solution to quantum physics is. But if you ask a question which exceeds your understand, then your question will be "lost on you." There is only one "caveat;" if you ask this being if it is "God" it will equivocate answering neither yes nor no.

What question calls you?

Given that I have observe the creation of such signs by my fellow humans, and given that they do not reproduce or have any known natural mechanism for how they come about, I’m going to guess that a human made them?

Shame you can’t do the same for your non-existent creator.

Response: How come there are no "B" batteries? They make "A" batteries, "C" batteries, and "D" batteries. Why did they skip the letter "B"?
