I have pondered this question many times, but I always wondered what other people would ask. I always wondered what would happen if I asked God how old he is. Probably go something like this:
‘Hey God, how old are you?’
“I am eternal…”
‘(pointing finger)You don’t KNOW, DO YOU?’
“I KNOW EVERYTHING, I’M GOD, REMEMBER? Now off to Hell with you…”
Ok, so maybe it wouldn’t be a good thing to ask. But I think you get my point…
Give Neil Donald Walsch a call; he talks to God all the time. Anybody have some opinions on his “Conversations with God” books? He used to be a fuck-up and now is a NY Times best-selling author. God answered his prayers. Maybe God has already given him some of the answers you seek. Maybe God can tell all of us how to make such easy money…

but probably –
What kind of sick trick was it to make cats’ bellies so soft and their claws so pointy?
The best lack all conviction
The worst are full of passionate intensity.
