Is there one or more eternal being who knows all, is all-powerful, and exists outside the physical universe?
Can that being determine whether I exist for all eternity in a state of perfect bliss or a state of complete agony?
Is there anything I can do to affect that decision one way or the other?
I’m not sure what I would do with the answer to that last one.
If it’s “no”, then at least I don’t have to worry about offending the sky god(same as if it were “no” to either of the previous questions). If it’s “yes”, then you have to worry about offending, but you don’t have any idea what may be an offense. Maybe just asking questions as to its nature is enough to condemn you.

Are you really the head of the Kwik-E-Mart?
Really?
You?
Got this tune stuck in my head but I can’t think of the song. It goes “Hm hmm him.” What the hell is it?
You wouldn’t ask that.
I keep requesting that I am looking for what posters here would actually ask in that situation.
I can’t think of many questions I’d only want a yes/no answer to. My first instinct was to ask it ''Am I doing the right thing?" but gods, what if it says no? :eek:
Then I have to figure out what the fuck I’m doing wrong? An existential nightmare worse than not knowing. I feel this really limits things I’m interested in asking.
That’s all I’ve got.
That’s what I get for only reading the thread title. :o
#1 Are there other intelligent beings in the Universe?
(If the answer to Question 1 is “Yes”) - #2 Have any of them traveled to within 1 AU of the Earth?
(If the answer to Question 2 is “No”) - #2 Will we ever be able to download our consciousness into digital form?
#3 Did Jesus actually heal people simply by touching them?
“which will be answered in order immediately after all three questions have been asked”
Sorry. 
Answers of just yes or no do little to quell life’s great mysteries.
“Is there life on other planets?” If the answer is Yes, there’s no distinction if it’s sentient life that has a superior technology to humans, or just one-celled amoebas and microbes.
You could ask if Lee Harvey Oswald really shot and killed Kennedy, but if the answer is No, how do you go about revealing the truth to mankind? “Oswald didn’t shoot Kennedy because an all-truthful being that only answers yes or no told me so.” There’s no supporting proof to take along with you.
You could ask about personal matters, like this transcript of an SNL sketch (the videos don’t load).
dammit!
“Is there sentient life on other planets with superior technology to humans?”
“Do the New England Patriots cheat in every game?”
The Oracle is comatose; I hope you’re happy.
Are all beings of your kind this dickish?
Is there a reason for torturing me like this?
Do you expect me to believe that?
OP didn’t specify how the questions are to be answered.
It could be one smack to the head for “yes”, two for “no”.
Is this really all there is?
I could do more if the format were 20 questions, but the almighty OP only answers three.
I could ask directly whether or not I’m going to Heaven, but a “No” answer wouldn’t necessarily mean there IS an afterlife, or if there is, whether I can improve my chances of eternal bliss.
If the answer to either #1 or #2 or #3 is “No” then there’s no point in worrying. If the answer to #3 is “Yes” then I may worry about following a certain path to life, but since I’m already following a path that generally agrees with most of the world’s major religions, I can at least hope that it’s the right path.
If I had more questions I could try to narrow things down to define what the right path would be, but that’s the best I can do with three.
How do they grow the spaghetti so straight?
