I'm serious. What is the first thing you want to know upon your death and you're looking at the face of God?

To all you non-believers out there, I suggest you read "The Case for Faith" and "The Case for Christ" by Lee Strobel.
If there isn't a God and you believe in him, well, no harm done. But if there IS a God, and you don't believe...oh boy. Which one will you bank your eternity on?
Blaise Pascal said there is a God-shaped vaccuum in every person. Only God can fill that incompleteness that is in each one of us -- we try to fill the hole with money, power, possessions, sexual exploits, drugs, etc. None of those do the trick. I believe in God because he filled my gap and because I've seen him at work in my life.

God doesn't exist and there's plenty of evidence to support that fact to as close to 100% certainty as you can get. Consider this, even if in the remotest of possibilities God existed, how do you know that God really cares about human beings?
Imagine this. You’ve just bought a new home which you furnish with all sorts of nice fittings and fixtures, then prepare the grounds and garden. You plant a wide range of trees, shrubs, flowers, plants and vegetables. You clip and prune as time goes on, spray the weeds, and generally keep your property in good shape.
Many years pass and your gardens are flourishing, not a weed to be seen anywhere. You head off on holiday, a weed pops up and bugs start to crawl all over it. Not to worry, when you return home you spray the gardens, killing all the bugs and weeds. Everything is back to normal.
Now consider the universe. After billions of years a little planet (weed) called Earth pops up and it’s crawling with bugs called humans. Do you really think the gardener (or creator) really cares about the bugs and weeds? Do you think the gardener cares about destroying you? Do you think that the bugs (humans) on the weed (Earth) have any idea what’s going on in the rest of garden (universe)?
Consider the problem about man-made God another way.
Imagine you’ve just been launched into space, you look back and watch the Earth through a rush of clouds turn into a beautiful blue green and white coloured ball. Seems so peaceful, how could such an inspiring serene picture be home to so many violent selfish greedy human residents.
The hours pass and Earth turns into an ever reducing multi-coloured little marble, and all around is darkness pitted with twinkling white stars. You strain your eyes and watch Earth disappear into a barely visible flicker of light, and still all around is just darkness pitted with twinkling stars.
You fall asleep and when you awaken everything looks the same. Darkness scattered with distant stars. You’re lost, you have no idea where Earth is, up down, left right, Earth has gone for good. Everything is just darkness and stars in every direction you look.
Now ask yourself, do you really believe that violent life on some planet that you’ve no idea where it is, has the answer to everything around you.
There is no God, it's a man-made imaginary fantasy.

My question would be simple:
"Why?"
And He being almighty will know what I am referring to. (Why are so many people hurt, why is there so much hate, why was the devil allowed to be here and turn so many people against their own, etc........)
"Why?" For all the questions I have ever had in my life about God and religion and people. He will understand when I ask Him, "Why?".
I think that one word alone will be enough of a question for Him to answer.
I would just hate to question Him in that way because it falls into so much. But I think He will understand my pain and frustration that I have been through all my life. And He will be willing to answer that question for me.

Assuming it is the Christian God, this is what I would ask?
"Why are you such a sadistic son-of-a-b#@% that you repeatedly murdered humans, incited racists wars, created an eternal hell for to punish finite crimes in a legal system that is draconian at best, put women in a lower caste and sanctioned the killing of your own son, among other crimes against humanity? What the hell (pun intended) is wrong with you?"

I don't believe I'll see anything when I die. If I'm wrong I've got a long list of complaints (huge ones), as well as questions. The first one would be 'What the **** was that all about'?

I don't think we'll see him right away after we die. But soon after and I want to say Hi and I love you and thank you for sending your son to bring to pass the atonement.

Why did you murder so many people in the Bible and throughout history?

If I am lucky enough to get there, I am sure I will be unable to speak.
Peace!
