Would you rather know everything about god/heaven or have a trillion dollars?

Question

By knowing everything about god/heaven, I mean you'll find out if there really is a heaven or a god etc. And what heaven is like and basically everything involving "God".

I'd probably take the cash too. "God" can't get me one million plasma tvs. But one trillion dollars can!

Answer 1

give me the money- i dont believe in myths and fairy tales.

Answer 2

I'd want to know everything about God and Heaven because that would be worth more than a trillion dollars.

Answer 3

Hmmm, this is a bit of a pickle for me.... Being that I wouldn't care too much for either. I have already come to various conclusions about the nature of any divine being that might exist, and really I feel no need to prove these things, because I don't feel it truly matters, unless of course there is some vindictive bastard who would see me suffer eternally, in which case it would ruin the remainder of my life because I'd spend it in defiance of this being... But really, it gets me a bit of information which holds little value if there is no God or afterlife, which I've already deemed to be the most likely scenario, so game theory tells me not to go for it. If there however was some alternate knowledge I could gain through this magical process, or I could have everybody simultaneously know the nature of any God/Afterlife, I'd go for it in an instant...

Now, the trillion dollars on the other hand, seems almost entirely unappealing to me, but I have to admit it would grant me advantages, even if I would effectively give away 99.9999% of it because I have no use for the extra. But of course, the problem would be living the way I'd prefer to live (which really require very little money, but is enhanced by money up to a very low limit) while having the money, as it would no doubt attract attention, hanger ons, and take a lot of effort to manage on my part if I actually let it be known I posses this money and try to re-distribute it to help people... All this would seem to effectively ruin the ways I'd prefer to live, that much money would be too much effort to give away to individuals, and I'm not into most charities/nonprofits (nor do I believe most charities/nonprofits would have a clue what to do with too large of a sum of money).

So really, the money has a higher chance to ruin my life, but would definitely benefit me many short fleeting moments of joy, while the knowledge as it was presented has a large chance of gaining me absolutely nothing... Unless I get to modify the knowledge, I have to choose the money.

Since we are living on earth off course we want one trillion dollar , but we must have good health than onyl we can enjoy it but knowing about heaven and religion in details is also a womderful thing i would spend 10 percent of i trillion to know if i have i trillion

Answer 5

Trillion dollars, I'll find out about god and heaven in a hundred years.

Answer 6

I'm not a greedy person at all, but that answer is not worth a trillion dollars. I think that if I had chosen the knowledge instead of the money, I would have been wishing to have chosen the trillion.

Answer 7

What is dollar to God. I like more God than that dollar which you are stating. When you die, you could not bring that dollar to your grave. It will remain to your wife who may used it in attracting another man to live happily, then that second husband of your wife will laugh at you for having enough money for their short time happiness.

What shall profit a man if he gains the whole world but loses his own soul? Ones you lost your soul, you can no longer take it back.but if the money or dollar which was given to you will be lost, you can find more than the lost one.

Answer 8

Cash please. With $1 trillion I could buy a Stariway to Heaven.

Although with the way they are destroying the value of the dollar, $1 trillion might soon only buy you an order of fries and a small Coke.

Answer 9

I know you are NOT serious and are mocking God, but to humor you and to let you know that "every idle word that man speaks, he will have to give an account of on Judgment Day"

I already know in this life what heaven is and will be like by His Holy Word, HOWEVER there is coming a Day when ALL things will be made KNOWN to us, to those who LOVE HIM.

Answer 10

I'll take my trillion dollars please =) I could do a lot more good with a trillion dollars than i could with knowing everything about god/heaven. I could fund a cure for cancer and aids and feed the hungry and heal the sick and give homes to the homeless as long as my money lasted.

Answer 11

A trillion dollars, since God or heaven might be nonsense.
