Should I ask the Lord for something cool like a unicycle, or something "mature" like world peace?

Being a communist, I would ask for one of those three or four-seater bikes.

Well nobody's gotten world peace yet, and there are a lot of people out there with unicycles. So God obviously prefers unicycles to world peace.

I think you should compromise and ask for a unicycle for everyone! That would surely end world peace!
God is too Santa!

God has said in the Quran:
“And give good news (O Muhammad) to those who believe and do good deeds, that they will have gardens (Paradise) in which rivers flow....” (Quran 2:25)
God has also said:
“Race one with another for forgiveness from your Lord and for Paradise, whose width is as the width of the heavens and the earth, which has been prepared for those who believe in God and His messengers....” (Quran 57:21)
The Prophet Muhammad, may God praise him, told us that the lowest in rank among the dwellers of Paradise will have ten times the like of this world,[1] and he or she will have whatever he or she desires and ten times like it.[2] Also, the Prophet Muhammad said: “A space in Paradise equivalent to the size of a foot would be better than the world and what is in it.”[3] He also said: “In Paradise there are things which no eye has seen, no ear has heard, and no human mind has thought of.”[4] He also said: “The most miserable man in the world of those meant for Paradise will be dipped once in Paradise. Then he will be asked, ‘Son of Adam, did you ever face any misery? Did you ever experience any hardship?’ So he will say, ‘No, by God, O Lord! I never faced any misery, and I never experienced any hardship.’”[5]
If you enter Paradise, you will live a very happy life without sickness, pain, sadness, or death; God will be pleased with you; and you will live there forever. God has said in the Quran:
“But those who believe and do good deeds, We will admit them to gardens (Paradise) in which rivers flow, lasting in them forever....” (Quran 4:57)

world peace is impossible due to free will

Would you do us all a favor and ask for something unselfish like world peace!

unicycles are hard to ride. ask for training wheels to go on that.

A God doesn't exist, so you might as well have greedy thoughts since no result will come from some sky-god.

world peace would actually bring the anti-Christ, so go ahead. I'm ready to go home!
