Would you require him to justify his terrible actions before taking his hand, or would you just be happy to see him? From what I've read and seen, I have a much better moral compass than he does. Maybe he just needs someone to explain that his plan sucks?

Yes, I'd certainly ask how he could allow some people to call themselves 'christians' when they preach bigotry, hatred, discrimination and therefore violence against gay people.
I'd also ask about the people who killed or hurt others in His name, such as the Crusades, Holy Wars, converting the "heathens," etc. Why weren't they stopped as well?
I guess God's answer might be that He gave us free will once we were born, and that he can't stop the hatred and violence that these 'christians' do to others, but he can weep for their thoughts, words and deeds.

His plan sucks??? Wow....I wouldn't want an explanation...You know what I think is funny? Some people think God is suppose to just perform miracle after miracle. What some people don't understand is that..God also punishes his people. If you are a child of God and you've done wrong...you will definitely reap what you sow. God owes me no explanation. His plan is wonderful and I cant wait for the day when I see his face. Also another thing is...as far as "hatred" is concerned..God didn't condone that. The devil did. The Devil was an angel in Heaven and because he wanted to be ruler over God, he was cast out and sent to the pit of hell and every angel who followed him was cast out. You don't have to believe me...just read the Bible. Some or most of the "horrible" things that have happened is because of the Devil. But I know prayer changes things and I personally think with a little Faith and some prayer...things change.
My apologies if I offended anyone...

I would be thrilled to see Him, but I would eventually start to question Him about things, just out of curiousity. We may not always understand God's plan, but He does things for a reason, even if we don't necessarily agree with Him. I'm not trying to justify anything, but I have always been told it is Satan that is responsible for the bad stuff, like hurricanes, murders, etc. God allows it to happen to bring us closer to Him. If you don't believe me, just think about it like this: People always ask God for help, yet they rarely praise Him in the good times. People tend to ignore their need for Him when things are going good and drift away from Him. He is trying to bring them closer.

I will be so happy to see God. He has to justify nothing. No, you don't have a better plan for everything. God loves you and He does have a perfect plan. Humans screw it up.

Because He is a love god, God gave us free will. The things that are happening are a result of mans decisions not God's plan.

Your comment reminded me of something in the Bible. I hope you will take the time to read this, it was very interesting....
JOB, a man of ancient times who possessed unbreakable integrity to God, had been put to a terrible test by Satan. The Devil had caused Job to lose all of his material possessions, had brought the death of his sons and daughters, and had afflicted him with a loathsome disease. Job thought it was God bringing these calamities upon him, and he complained bitterly to Jehovah: “Is it good for you that you should do wrong, . . . that you should try to find my error and for my sin you should keep looking? This in spite of your own knowledge that I am not in the wrong?”—Job 1:12-19; 2:5-8; 10:3, 6, 7.
In the interim, Jehovah had confronted Job out of the windstorm. (Job 38:1) He had plied Job with questions. ‘Where were you when I founded the earth? Who barricaded the sea with doors and set limits on where its waves could come? Can you cause the clouds to drop their rain on the earth? Can you cause the grass to grow? Can you bind together the constellations and guide them in their courses?’ Throughout chapters 38 to 41 of the book of Job, Jehovah rained down on Job these questions and many more about His creation. He made Job see the tremendous gulf between God and man, forcefully reminding Job of the wisdom and power reflected in God’s creation, things far beyond the power of Job to perform or even to understand. Job, overwhelmed by the awesome power and incredible wisdom of the almighty God as revealed through His creations, was appalled to think that he had had the audacity to argue with Jehovah. So he said: “In hearsay I have heard about you, but now my own eye does see you.”—Job 42:5.
It is important to realize that it is Satan that has caused all of the problems we see on the earth today. It began in the garden of Eden with Adam, Eve and God's only law he gave them.

I imagine He would require some serious explanation out of you.

Nobody is going to question God when their in His presance on His time. I think if any body is going to need to explain a few things it is going to be you.God is 100% perfect.

Hmmm. Don't know what plan you are referring to nor do I agree that you have a better moral compass.
Why are you so angry?
