Hello God, what's up? I mean... besides you.
Or is heaven actually up there? I've been in airplanes, above the clouds and I haven't seen heaven yet. Is it invisible? Or is heaven even higher than the clouds? Or perhaps in another universe?

How do I make it into heaven anyway? I know I have to be a good person and confess my sins, but how do you decide what sins are bad and what sins are really bad? Do you have some sort of guidelines, or do you just pick and choose?

And why do good people die? Good people that have never done anything wrong and have just started to live their lives? I don't understand why you would take these people from the Earth and leave their families to grieve. Did they do something wrong? Do they deserve this punishment? I thought you forgave sins....

I think this is the question that bothers me the most: If you have the power to control the world, why don't you make world peace, or stop global warming, or help poverty-stricken countries? Why do you let these terrible things happen? Is it your way of punishing us? I know that you could probably argue that we brought it on ourselves; that you gave us all the gifts we need to survive, and we've just misused them and went down the wrong path. But couldn't you change all this? Go back in time?

Do you listen to everyone's prayers? I mean, there are billions of people in the world. How can you possibly hear and answer all of them? Do you have other people to answer them for you... like a call center?

Why don't you just show yourself? You would have so many more followers. I understand that you are trying to test our faith, but it would be so much easier to talk to you in person, and put a face to this name I've been hearing all my life.

Well, it's been nice talking to you. Have a good night.
Just some random questions I've been thinking about.
