What if God was one of us?
Ever heard of Jesus the Christ.

Why do people think He was God?

What did/do people ask of Him?

I like the quote from Mother Teresa:
"God loves the world so much today that He gives you and He gives me to be His love and compassion"

What would I change about my faith - the intollerance.

What one question would I ask G-d - Why?

What would I say to G-d if He was one of us - Sorry.

Really good point Neemai. Everyone would do the "prove it" bit and even if He did we would say it was a trick (hey isn't that what a majority said about each of the Prophets?).

Re: What if God was one of US

Hey, Tao_E.
Thanks for posting the link. I remember when that tune was first released. LOL--my antennae sent me a warning signal---what if God was a slob??? How can she say that???

But then I listened to the rest of the lyrics (over and over) in part for that reason, and in part because I think the music is good and the video is interesting. I find myself rather inspired by it all. What an honest song.

When I saw you had posted the video, I expected that you might receive some pretty negative-sounding responses. But the feedback so far has been quite positive, and I have enjoyed reading the comments. (By the way, Hare Krishna, Neemai, and welcome to CR.)

What would I ask Him? Probably the same thing I ask Him all the time. "How am I doing, Lord?" Have I been acting in Love's interests as often I have sincerely understood how? If not, show me where, and instruct me. And do You get lonely, too?

How are "we" doing, also? Where can we be better? What is it You want us to do in order to glorify You and live in Love toward one another?

And I would say Thank You for the time I am given to learn.

InPeace,
InLove
