If you had to describe god to a child?
It is someone who gives you unlimited candy but no homework.
What if god was a man? What if god was a woman?
If god was a man I would ask him the simple question — How come you never created a wife for yourself? And if god was a women, people would says ‘AWOMEN’ instead of ‘AMEN’.
What would your first words to god be if he/she appeared in front of you?
OMG!
If there was a dare/challenge you would like to give god what would it be?
I would dare to get him a US visa.
If you had the power to grant one gift to god, what would it be?
I will gift him myself! (laughs)
Your most godly encounter?
The day I started recognising my mother and father, how kind and wonderful people they are.
What if god were an alien?
The movie Alien VS Predator will become Bible.
Funniest encounter in a place of worship?
I was busy preying instead of praying.
A quirky habit you have in terms of being spiritual or a god believer?
A deep meditation followed by dreams.
What do you think will offend god?
When an ungodly incident happens to a family and the victim’s parents or dear ones ask, “Why did you do this god?”
If you had to prepare a joke about god and also present it in front of him, what would it be?
I would prepare a script for him movie titled —‘Karma is a bitch’. It goes like — “God is slow to get angry and swift to punish. He is tolerant but unforgiving. He forgives you but you will still go to hell.”
