This is my entry to ecoTrain's QOTW 9.8 "If you could ask God ONE question and God would give you an immediate answer, what would the question be and what answer would you want to hear?"

This is an interesting challenge for me. I was looking for some fun challenges and this struck out. I have not been very religious my whole life but my parents are very religious and growing up in the same house, I was faced with many rituals and religious practices most of which I didn't like tbh but I always had questions on my mind. Just a never-ending list of questions.
- Is there ONE true God?
- What is God?
- What happens when we die? Does our soul leaves one body and are ready to enter in new?
- How did everything begin? etc
Some of those questions can have only philosophical answers and no right answers. But if I only have to ask just one question to God, it would be:
If we are just the embodiment of you then how come we have emotions like anger, greed and maliciousness. Does God also possess these qualities? If not why did he create us that way?

How come if, in most religions and cultures, God is looked at as a superior form of human being, and is supposed to have created us why didn't he remove all those negative qualities of ours which will lead to a more peaceful life on earth.
God might answer that he gave us a free mind with the ability to produce a whole range of emotions both positive and negative, happy and sad, ecstasy and misery. But it is we who decides for ourselves what type of emotions we chose to produce and reflect on others.
This is an interesting point of view but couldn't a mighty powerful God create us completely free from those negative emotions? Would that be too much to ask?
Well, all these are questions that will never be answered and we might never be able to understand God or ourselves. Maybe the life we have on earth is just a dream and we wake up from this dream after we die and that life is real life? Who knows what that could be. Maybe we are living in a simulation created by some civilizations far away in space and we are just some entertainment for them. We would have never known. xD
Are we controlled by some alien species? Is there a God and can we ever be able to experience that God? We might never be but I don't completely oppose the notion of God just in case it really exists...haha
Do let me know what you feel about this question? Does God possess those negative qualities? This is my first time doing this challenge. Let me know if I messed up something. Cheers!
Have a good day everyone and thanks for reading. 😀
