Good questions!

Okay, I hope this is still fair use and not simple content lifting, but below are some of the very good questions asked by random internet surfers on the site of the Alpha Course (UK), which set up a survey asking: "If God did exist, what would you ask?".

I think that the site is quite well-made, as every question is boxed in separately, so it creates an impression of the solitude of each asker, while at the same time, listing them together in one place emphasises the common humanity of all who asked. Quite a few of the questions made me well up. Or maybe it’s the combination of them all, the mix of awe, sadness, anger, vulnerability and just sheer curiosity that is reflected in them.
